Jonathan Goering, Thrive Allen County’s economic development director, is ready to move forward with plans to start a land bank.
Commissioners, though, aren’t quite as enthusiastic.
They’re concerned the county could end up with a surplus of unwanted property they’ll have to maintain, and they could lose some property tax revenue.
Goering assured them they have options to control those things.
As a result of discussion on the matter Tuesday, commissioners planned to meet with their attorney to learn more about the legal parameters.
