BUILDING DEMOLITION AND SITE REVITALIZATION PROGRAM
This program is designed to provide grants for the demolition of commercial and residential buildings and revitalization of surrounding properties. If you have a property that you would like demolished, please email Christina Deehr at: planner2@mvpo.org, the property card and photos of the property that you want demolished so that your property can be considered for demolition. The deadline to submit your demolition interest to Christina is January 31, 2022.
Eligible Properties
Blighted, vacant or abandoned structures are eligible for demolition. Commercial and residential buildings on sites that are not brownfields are eligible properties. Commercial properties include buildings that were used for retail, office, manufacturing, industrial, industrial warehousing, institutional, or other non-residential or mixed-use (meaning any mix of these uses or a mix of residential and commercial uses) purposes.
Non-vacant and blighted structures are not eligible, unless they are contiguous and/or connected to vacant and blighted structures that are necessary to demolish.
Meeting Schedule
The Fulton County Land Bank was created in December of 2021. The Board is still deciding on a regular meeting time. This will be updated once a decision is made.
