Burgess Introduces Land Bank Legislation from the Pittsburgh Business Times
"On the heels of Gov. Tom Corbett signing enabling legislation last week, Pittsburgh Councilman Ricky Burgess introduced legislation Wednesday to create a Pittsburgh Land Bank within the city. “The establishment of the Pittsburgh Land Bank is an essential step to transform and rehabilitate the city’s low- and moderate-income communities,” said Burgess, in a prepared statement. “The land bank will substantially improve the appearance, marketability and potential of many Pittsburgh neighborhoods.”"
