Demolition impacts the health and safety of nearby residents and the social fabric of a neighborhood. Communities experiencing disinvestment, systemic vacancy, and population loss must make difficult choices around which properties to prioritize with limited funding. To improve their decision-making process, the Genesee County Land Bank Authority (GCLBA) partnered with Tolemi to develop an automated scoring tool that incorporates inspection data and spatial layers.  

Join this session to hear how the scoring tool offers a long-term sustainable solution to demolition planning. Attendees will learn how the tool was developed to democratize demolition decisions, promote transparency, and allow GCLBA to stay responsive to changing inventory and funding.
