UPCOMING EVENTS

The Institute of Politics will be hosting a program on June 7th entitled "Understanding the Potential of Land Banks in Pennsylvania." The forum will offer an in-depth summary of the new Pennsylvania law. Experts from other areas of the country who have successfully implemented land banks in their communities will be on hand to share their experiences with forum participants. Also, several local organizations who are working on issues related to establishing land banks in our region will explain how their work is helping to drive this dialogue forward.

This program is free and open to the public, but registration is required. For more information and to register for the event, please click here.
