Completion of Round 2 Community Revitalization Initiative Grant Funding from the NYS Attorney General’s office
This grant support has provided vital operating funds for the Land Bank in its early years and critical funding of our demolition program, resulting in the removal of 90 blighted and unsafe structures throughout the county. It also facilitated in the return of 14 bank owned, or zombie properties, and 30 vacant lots to productive use.

Through the generous support of the county Legislature, the Chautauqua County Land Bank has also demonstrated its ability to address blight and stabilize neighborhoods across the county through its Sales 4 Rehab program and creative problem-solving. The Land Bank’s programs impact vacancy rates and property values, most dramatically in the cities of Jamestown and Dunkirk, where 98 properties have entered the Sales 4 Rehab program and each year, additional substandard properties are turned over to the Land Bank and scheduled for demolition. Rural townships receive additional resources from the land bank in the form of demolition funding and project management to help these smaller municipalities build capacity to effectively tackle blight in their communities. The Land Bank is shifting the paradigm on how the county deals with tax foreclosed properties by leveraging resources to tackle the glut of vacant, abandoned and condemned properties.
