The Westmoreland County Land Bank has been recognized by the Housing Alliance of Pennsylvania for its success.
The Tribune-Review reports that the county land bank was featured in the report “Revitalizing PA: Success Stories and New Priorities”, and the report cited the Monsour Medical Center/Jayhawk Commons in Jeannette and the Jeannette Greenspaces Community Garden as two success stories. The land bank recently announced it’s 70th property sale and 100th land acquisition since it was founded in 2013.
The Westmoreland County Land Bank was one of the first to be created under the Pennsylvania Land Bank Act of 2012.
