Congressman Dan Kildee, Chief Deputy Whip of the House Democratic Caucus, and Congressman Drew Ferguson (GA-03), Chief Deputy Whip of the House Republican Conference, today introduced bipartisan legislation to help strengthen neighborhoods, reduce crime and clean up blighted properties by expanding resources for land banks in communities across America.
Land banks are powerful tools to address blighted, vacant and abandoned properties and bring greater economic investment to communities. The National Land Bank Network Act would create a national network to provide resources, technical assistance and grants to help land banks nationwide implement best practices. This network would also help communities create their own land banks.
