Last week, we co-hosted an informative and inspiring event for the Erie area.
The Erie County Land Bank, Erie Land Bank, and Erie Arts and Culture welcomed Michael Freeman from the Genesee County Land Bank in Flint, Michigan for a screening of his documentary highlighting the powerful impact land banks can have on rebuilding neighborhoods and restoring communities.
We are grateful for the collaborating partners and so many of the interested elected officials and community members who came out our event.
The Genessee County Land Bank documentary provides the inspiration for our work going forward, and the access to an experienced land bank leader is invaluable. We look forward to implementing the skills, knowledge, and programs identified to better our local communities.
Thanks to all who were able to make this happen.
If you joined us last week and want to watch the documentary again, or if you weren't able to attend but would like to see it, you can do so here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idUeuJQ2TU0
