Lisbon to fast track redevelopment of rundown, vacant properties

TIMES RECORD • January 13, 2021

Lisbon selectmen approved a land bank program last week that will allow the town to purchase distressed properties to speed up redevelopment of the buildings and get them back on the tax roll. Eligible properties in Lisbon could include commercial or residential properties that have been vacant, abandoned, tax-delinquent, foreclosed, dangerous or blighted for an extended period of time that detract from the value of neighboring properties or threaten safety.
