Pittsburgh Land Bank approves $10M spending plan for covid relief money – By Julia Felton (TribLive) / Dec 2, 2022
The Pittsburgh Land Bank’s board voted unanimously Friday to approve a plan to spend $10 million in American Rescue Plan funding — despite the fact Mayor Ed Gainey has said he wants to take $3 million of that money to create a food justice fund.
The Land Bank’s plan calls for using $10 million in ARPA money over four years, Land Bank manager Sally Stadelman said in a presentation to the board.
“Our Land Bank is here to support and increase the supply of affordable housing and to reduce the spread of urban blight in the city of Pittsburgh,” Stadelman said, adding that the federal covid relief funding would help the group expand on those efforts.
