About Us

The Herkimer County Land Bank is committed to revitalizing vacant and abandoned properties, turning them into valuable assets that strengthen neighborhoods and foster economic growth. By acquiring and managing problem properties, the Land Bank ensures their return to productive use through strategic planning and responsible redevelopment.

Through proactive measures like preventive maintenance and partnerships with local governments, nonprofits, and community groups, the Land Bank reduces costs associated with code enforcement and demolition while enhancing property values. Additionally, we prioritize preserving land for community use, such as parks and gardens, aligning our efforts with long-term planning and sustainable development.
