The Hartford Land Bank identifies and acquires vacant, abandoned, tax-delinquent and/or distressed properties in the City of Hartford, Connecticut, to steward their rehabilitation and return to productive community assets. Hartford Land Bank, Inc. is a non-profit corporation.
How a Land Bank Works
We are often asked, “How does a land bank work?” so we created this infographic to explain what happens to many vacant properties, and what can happen instead when a land bank is involved. We have just acquired our first properties and begun the process of returning them to active community use.
