Parsons has launched a new project to repurpose land

A new city project could help breathe life into forgotten properties in Parsons. They’re calling it a “land bank.” City commissioners have just approved the formation of this project to help take on the number 1 issue in the city. The properties are falling to pieces, but instead of saying goodbye, the city is hoping to use them for future economic development. “Some of the houses that we have torn down over the past years could have easily been reworked with somebody with good DIY skills.” Says Leland Crooks, Landbank Board Member. Throughout many areas, like the city of Parsons, people run into homes that have been lost to time.
