It can’t work if you have 20,000 properties that have been sitting on a list, the same list for 20 years, there’s just something wrong,” Pappas said. “By making the list free, putting it online and making an easily searchable map, I hope we see more potential bidders intent on improving their communities. A vacant lot could become a side yard, helping a homeowner build generational wealth. A cluster of parcels could attract a local developer interested in adding new houses to a block.”
