Land Bank Expects to Create a Major Impact in 2022
The Land Bank foresees a significant impact throughout Youngstown and surrounding communities this year as a result of our demolition and greening efforts.
Land Bank Among Sponsors of Conference
Gary Davenport, project coordinator at the Land Bank, shown here (at left) with volunteers planting native plants at a Youngstown greening site, will address that topic in a presentation at the conference. 
The Land Bank is proud to be among the sponsors of the 11th Annual Ohio Land Bank Association Conference in Cleveland, April 27-29. The conference brings together all who work at or with land banks to provide education, resources and networking opportunities on housing renovations, demolitions, greening, brownfields and much more.
CityScape Partnership Supports Native Wildflowers
The Land Bank, in partnership with Youngstown CityScape at Briel’s Greenhouse, has begun growing native wildflowers to transplant to its properties. Pictured is Lanceleaf Sage, the first of a dozen different species the Land Bank is starting this spring.
Land Bank Joined Partners to Promote Black History
We were proud to join the Rotary Club of Youngstown's initiative to mark Black History Month by stocking Little Free Libraries across Youngstown with books that spotlight African American achievements and culture. The Land Bank hosts a Little Free Library in the food court of the 20 Federal Place building downtown.
