The new land bank will help manage, sell and transfer tax delinquent land in order to return the vacant, abandoned or foreclosed properties to productive reuse.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Kansas City Business Journal<\/em> reports the city will be able to nominate a board of commissioners to the land bank agency. The board will be authorized to borrow money, issue bonds to finance the purchase, and greenlight the demolition and sale of the vacant properties, but it will not hold power of eminent domain. The properties held by the agency will be exempt from state and local taxes.<\/p>\n<p>The bill received sponsorship support from Rep. Noel Torpey (Republican &#8211; District 52) and Rep. Michael Brown (Democrat- District 50) in the House, and Sen. Victor Callahan (Democrat \u2013 District 11) in the Missouri Senate.<\/p>\n<p>In other local news, <em>The Kansas City Star<\/em> reports Missouri highway officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the first &#8220;diverging diamond&#8221; interchange in the Kansas City Area.
