Community Impact

Since its inception, the Athens County Land Bank has made it a goal to impact as many communities across the county as possible. Partnerships with local governments and organizations have been key to a broad range of blight remediation. 

State and federal programs like FEMA’s National Infrastructure Protection Plan, Ohio’s Building Demolition & Site Revitalization Program, Brownfield Remediation Program, and Welcome Home Ohio Program have been vital in reaching more areas throughout Athens County. The graphic below shows the cities, villages, and townships where we have taken on projects.
