Board of Directors

About the Board of Directors

The mission of the State Land Bank is to create positive economic impact to Michigan communities by recycling land to productive use. We work with communities - of all sizes - to make their property goals a reality. This is a collaborative effort to create a better quality of life for residents and put property back on the tax-roll. Our board is comprised of dedicated professionals working to help revive abandoned and vacant properties and revitalize communities across the state through investment.

All State Land Bank Board of Directors meetings will be held at 2pm in the MSHDA Building, 735 East Michigan Avenue, Lansing, MI 48912, unless otherwise noted. Meetings are open to the public.

Persons with disabilities requiring accommodation for effective participation should call 517-335-8212 a week in advance to request mobility, visual, hearing or other assistance.
