But those homes often have messy title problems — liens for instance — that deter investors from buying them Glasgow Village neighbors say a group of vacant homes in the 10800 block of Spring Garden Drive Many were set for demolition with pandemic relief funds with $11 million set to raze or repurpose problem property in North County people won’t buy it because of all the liens on it,” said Julie Griffith president of the community association in Spanish Lake and they burned 10 to 15 years ago and they’re still sitting there who has lived in Spanish Lake for 24 years didn’t have the right tools to handle the problem to use the land bank to zero out debt and clear the title eliminating some of the risk for a potential investor But the county wants to avoid some of the city’s pitfalls In June 2022, the St. Louis aldermanic president and two of his allies were indicted on federal bribery charges that included helping a businessman buy property from the land bank Aldermen wield influence throughout the city The city halted sale of land bank properties and only resumed sales after putting new rules in place The new state law It prohibits certain people from buying land bank properties: any member of the board that governs a land bank; an employee of the land bank agency; an elected or appointed official of the agency; an elected or appointed official in the political subdivision where the land bank is located; or a person who is related to any of those people And no public officials may serve on the governing board It’s not clear if those rules would have stopped the problems in the city. Former Alderman Jeffrey Boyd pleaded guilty to taking bribes in return for helping a businessman purchase property from the city’s land bank Plenty of details have yet to be worked out The new law also includes a provision that would help the county avoid another problem the city faces tax-delinquent property that doesn’t sell at auction goes into the city’s land bank Louis’ land bank holds thousands of properties and struggles to maintain them the county would be able to choose which properties it puts in its land bank so it could grow at a reasonable rate The state law also outlines how the county would appoint a land bank board of directors It would include seven members: two appointed by the county executive; one by the County Council member with the most tax-delinquent parcels in the area that member represents; one by the council member with the second-most parcels; one agreed upon by the county executive and local municipal league; and two residents It could be months before the county’s legislation is ready said she’s prepared to wait years for the land bank program to see the light of day “It’s a step in the right direction,” Griffith said Louis through the Post-Dispatch photographers' lenses Email notifications are only sent once a day Louis County Executive Sam Page called the new entity which advocates have spent years trying to create via state and

Rockvilla CIC intend to provide office and community space on the first floor of the Legacy Hub, with a licenced area on the ground floor supporting both community and external uses. The community interest company will apply for a licence support the hire of the area for weddings, parties, and functions - and intend to use this income to fund the community space above. The CIC propose to use the theatre area in the Hub to host events such as A Play, a Pie and a Pint with local writers and performers; a free after-school meals club run in connection with Mary's Meals; and to let spaces to local charities or community organisations at concessionary rentals with organisation being responsible for occupational costs. A Community Advisory Board - or similar body - will be formed with the tenants and local community members and representatives involved. The committee also agreed to change the development agreement for the second phase of the Athletes' Village in Dalmarnock. This second phase - which will see 125 houses built - has a development agreement between Glasgow City Council and the developer consortium City Legacy. City Legacy has been approached by the Places for People, Thriving Investments, MMR Fund with a view to purchasing 58 homes for mid-market rental. Today's decision to change the development agreement allows that purchase and the acceleration of the development, with construction expected to begin before the end of 2024. The building of these homes is expected to help meet demand for mid-market rental homes in Glasgow's East End in a period of market constraint. The remaining 77 homes in the second phase will be available for private sale. The ‘Glasgow West’ store will be to the south of the Hillington Interchange at Junction 26 of the M8, occupying the former Peter Vardy CARZ showroom.  The site commands an extremely visible position alongside Hillington Road, forming part of the wider regional centre including IKEA and Braehead Shopping Centre nearby, and next to a cluster of the most prominent car dealerships in Scotland, with Abbotsinch Retail Park only 5 minutes’ drive away. Charlie Harrison, managing director at Furniture Village, said: “Following the incredible success of our first Scottish store, which opened in Edinburgh in December 2024, we’re excited to announce the opening of our second location — right in the heart of Glasgow this June!
