Tax Foreclosure Reform: A New Approach for Stronger Neighborhoods

Speakers: Kendall Pelling, Project Manager, East Liberty Development, Inc.; Honorable Christopher Ross, Representative, Pennsylvania House of Representatives; Daniel Kildee, President / CEO, Center for Community Progress

Tax delinquent and vacant properties can be a tremendous asset when they are restored back to productive use—reinvigorating downtowns, housing new businesses, creating new housing opportunities in existing neighborhoods, and raising quality of life through parks and other green uses. This session will explore the issues at play in the tax foreclosure system and review how two states have reformed, or are seeking to reform, the laws that balance the need for efficient tax collection with the long-term interests of the communities they impact.
