ROCKFORD (WREX)- The city of Rockford is taking a new approach when it comes to fixing up and tearing down problem properties.
At City Council Wednesday night, aldermen approved a land bank agreement. That agreement is between the city, Belvidere and Winnebago and Boone counties. Together they’ll form a group of people that will buy dilapidated homes and buildings in their areas. From there, they’ll either fix-up the properties to sell, or demolish them.
