The Troy Community Land Bank (TCLB) continues to make tremendous strides in revitalizing vacant properties throughout our city! A month ago, TCLB completed a critical roofing project at 17 Park Avenue, a key step in stabilizing the building. For years, this property had been marked with a red “X,” indicating it was unsafe for firefighters to enter. With the new roof now in place, we’ve proudly removed the “X,” signaling that this building—and others like it—are on the path to safety and stability!
