Sullivan Land Bank reducing blight
The Sullivan County Land Bank has worked on 13 properties since being established. Most have been demolitions—the removal of these vacant buildings has had a great impact.

By targeting certain areas, you can see the blight is gone, and people interested in being here can start investing money.”
