Summary
The Land Bank Authority was scheduled to decide what to do with five tax-foreclosed properties, including two Alanson parcels, a landlocked acre, and a Bay Harbor boat slip. Acquiring them could put them back into productive use, but the county would bear the purchase cost — twice the state equalized value with intent to claim, or just back taxes at auction minimum.
