Using Parcel Data to Inform Local VAD Strategies

How many vacant properties are in your community? Where are they? What condition are they in? If you don’t have the answers—or don’t know how to use that data when you have it—you’re not alone.  

This webinar will highlight how communities can capture a variety of property condition information, map their data, and use it to inform code enforcement, land banking, and other revitalization strategies. Whether you are just starting a coordinated approach to addressing vacancy or reevaluating your approach to align to today’s challenges, property condition surveys are a proven foundational step.
