HSF is excited to welcome Alison Goldey, the Executive Director of the Chatham County/City of Savannah Land Bank Authority, Inc., as our April guest lecturer. She will discuss Land Bank Authorities and Neighborhood Revitalization on Thursday, April 17 at 6:00 pm.

In the last decade, the number of land banks and land bank programs across the Unites States has increased to over 300 across nineteen states. The State of Georgia has over 30 land bank authorities that have unique powers that allow them to focus on the return of vacant, abandoned, and deteriorated properties to a productive use. Alison Goldey will discuss how land banks can be a powerful tool to assist communities in meeting the goals for revitalizing neighborhoods through increasing affordable housing or stabilizing property values. Alison will further discuss how land banks work in partnership with communities and both private and non-profit developers to assist with the redevelopment of vacant, abandoned properties, including some exciting projects that have been completed here in Savannah with Historic Savannah Foundation and in Macon, Georgia with Historic Macon Foundation.

This event is free for HSF members and $15 for non-members. Members may RSVP by emailing [email protected] and non-members can purchase their tickets at www.myhsf.org/events/lecture-series/.
