The Tioga County Property Development Corporation Land Bank (TCPDC) is a nonprofit entity set up primarily to address vacant, abandoned blighted and tax delinquent properties countywide. 

Funds from the State Attorney General’s Community Revitalization Initiative (CRI) through Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. were awarded to rebuild neighborhoods and eliminate slums and blight. 

TCPDC Land Bank is taking steps toward achieving healthier, more vital, and safer neighborhoods for all. Many other benefits occur because of these revitalization efforts.

Marte Sauerbrey, TCPDC Chair and Tioga County Legislative chair shared, “This program will encourage economic growth instead of allowing deterioration. It will help address the safety and health of our residents while stabilizing and transforming our neighborhoods. Now, the redevelopment begins.” 

For program information, contact Teresa Saraceno, Land Bank director, by email to saracenot@co.tioga.ny.us or by calling (607) 687-8260.
