 The State Land Bank Authority (SLBA), in collaboration with the SLBA Board of Directors, has completed and approved their strategic plan for fiscal years 2022-2026. This important document outlines the SLBA's short term and long term goals, while illustrating how their work is directly linked to the vision and mission of the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO), which it is a part of.
"The implementation of this plan allows us to have a clearer vision of our investments and priorities," said Emily Doerr, Executive Director of the SLBA. "Through collaboration with local communities, county land banks and other state agencies, our team strives to serve as a pro-active, problem-solving partner to catalyze development across our great state. We look forward to using this document as a guide while continuing this momentum."
Beginning with a staff and Board retreat that focused on the planning process last November, and concluding with the recent adoption of the plan by the Board of Directors, the plan outlines general guiding principles and goals in three areas — institutional, practitioner and real estate.
"The enthusiasm, vision and experience of the SLBA staff, its Board of Directors and partners within LEO will promote a healthy and vigorous re-use of land throughout the state," said Helen Lehman, SLBA Board of Directors member and Executive Director of New Development Corporation. "The planning process provides us with a road map for inclusive developments with a multitude of partners."
