In 2006, vacant
and abandoned properties in just eight cities cost Ohio
more than
$60 million in municipal services and lost tax revenues. But our
state and local governments can do more to spur productive use
of these blighted properties.
Please
join us
for a media/policy forum on the release of a groundbreaking new report,
"$60 Million and Counting: The Cost of Vacant and
Abandoned Properties to Eight Ohio Cities."
