Schuylkill County Land Bank

• Concluding thoughts:
• Early activities are designed to generate program revenue (sale of properties)

to sustain operations.

• A number of partners have been engaged: Schuylkill Community Action,

Wells Fargo, state funding agencies, and local banks

• As revenue sources become more predictable additional communities will be

included in the land bank
