SUMMIT COUNTY LAND REUTILIZATION CORPORATION 

AND THE COUNTY OF SUMMIT’S APPLICATION FOR THE 

OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL’S MOVING OHIO FORWARD 

GRANT PROGRAM, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY 

WHEREAS, in 2010, the Ohio General Assembly enacted legislation authorizing 

any county with a population of over 60,000 persons to create a 

County Land Reutilization Corporation (“CLRC”); and 

WHEREAS, the purpose of the CLRC is to acquire, renovate, rehab, demolish 

and otherwise acquire real property that is abandoned, vacant or 

blighted and to put the same back into productive use and tax 

status; and 

WHEREAS, CLRCs were created by the Ohio General Assembly and given the 

aforementioned powers in order to address, in part, the recent 

foreclose crisis, real estate market crisis and declining property 

values, all of which are exacerbated by the presence of abandoned, 

vacant and blighted properties in a community; and 

WHEREAS, following adoption of the legislation creating CLRCs, all urban 

counties in Ohio have proceeded with the formation of a CLRC; and 

WHEREAS, the County of Summit has recently enacted legislation creating the 

Summit County Land Reutilization Corporation (“Summit CLRC”) 

in order to perform those functions within Summit County, and is 

currently working on additional legislation to finalize the creation of 

the Summit CLRC; and 

WHEREAS, the Summit CLRC will be primarily funded through a portion of 

delinquent real property tax payments and accompanying penalty 

and interest; and 

WHEREAS, recently, the Ohio Attorney General committed a portion of 

settlement proceeds from litigation against certain financial

allocated $3,780,560 of those funds to Summit County communities 

to use for demolition of abandoned, vacant and blighted residential 

structures; and


WHEREAS, $3,280,560 of the Moving Ohio Forward Grant Program funds 

require a local match, and by creating the Summit CLRC, up to

presence of abandoned, vacant and blighted properties in our 

community has serious negative effects on the property values of 

residents that faithfully pay their property taxes and maintain their 

homes; and 

WHEREAS, this Board of Education hereby finds and determines that the 

presence of abandoned, vacant and blighted properties in our 

community has serious negative effects on the real property tax base

WHEREAS, this Board of Education desires to express its support for both the
