The Vacant Property Toolkit from the Business and Professional People for the Public Interest is finally ready and posted on its website at http://www.bpichicago.org/VacantPropertyResources.php I’ve written about this organization’s work in the past to address this very important issue and the Toolkit is a great starting point for any agency trying to deal with the problems presented by vacant and abandoned property.
I attended the seminar at the Federal Reserve on 03/01/10 and it was very informative, especially the comments from the larger communities.
Hopefully the new State legislation will help out.
FYI, Mount Prospect is having a property managers seminar this Saturday.
