 FLRLBC Information

  • 2023 Annual Report

  • Empire State Development Corporation designated Seneca County as the 11th Land Bank incorporated under the New York State Not-for-Profit Corporation Law in 2015. The FLRLBC was created by Seneca County and operates from its Department of Planning & Community Development.

  • The primary focus of land bank operations is the acquisition of distressed real property that is tax delinquent suffering from abandonment in Seneca County.
