Planning

Allegany County Land Bank Corporation

The primary focus of land bank operations is the acquisition of real property that is tax delinquent, tax foreclosed, vacant and/or abandoned, and to use the tools of the program to eliminate the harms and liabilities caused by such properties.

ACLBC will strategically manage selected residential and commercial properties that have been acquired.

The ACLBC will make it affordable for reputable consumers and developers to acquire properties at a reasonable cost, while also helping tenants and owners to keep properties that are in a threat of foreclose or other civil actions.

Allegany County is confronted daily on issues associated with abandoned, vacant and tax foreclosed properties. Please partner with the ACLBC to clean-up and secure our communities by notifying the ACLBC of properties that are abandoned, in disrepair, and/or in threat of foreclosure.

OUR MISSION

The mission of the Allegany County Land Bank Corporation is to combat the problem of vacant and abandoned properties in Allegany County, New York by strategically selecting properties and facilitating the return of problem properties to productive use- in effort to eliminate the harms and liabilities caused by abandoned and vacant properties -while making it affordable for reputable consumers and developers to acquire land bank properties.

Board meetings are held in Suite 130 at the Crossroads Conference & Commerce Center at 6087 NYS Route 19N in Belmont, NY 14813.
