In the first of a series of FAQ videos, we provide an overview of the Cuyahoga Land Bank’s core activities. In this video, President and General Counsel Gus Frangos discusses the value and importance of a Land Bank to address the aftermath of the foreclosure crisis. Director of Acquisitions, Dispositions and Development, Cheryl Stephens and Acquisitions Manager Kim Steigerwald discuss how the Cuyahoga Land Bank determines if a property is directed to demolition or marketed for renovation and Dennis Roberts, Director of Programs and Property Management outlines our renovation specification process for all properties available through our Deed-In-Escrow program. Cleveland Councilman and Chair of the Cuyahoga Land Board Tony Brancatelli also provides testimonial evidence of the Land Bank working in the Slavic Village neighborhood to return properties to productive use and to reduce blight in an area hit hard by the subprime lending crisis. www.cuyahogalandbank.org
