What is missing from the record

Every step has a date on record. Nothing is missing from the records we hold.

Where this project stands

Five steps, from the Board agenda to the closing. A disposition is the sale or transfer of a Land Bank property. The Council step is City Council's approval of the sale, which comes after the Board's approval.
