The yard extension program is for Land Bank owned vacant lots that are unbuildable. These lots are often abandoned and forgotten. This program gives new life to unbuildable and forgot lots, giving homeowners the chance to give them new life. If you are interested in giving a purpose to a lot adjacent to your current property by extending your current yard space you are in the right spot.
We love to see our community restoring and maintaining these lost lots into something beautiful!
