WHEREAS, the Greater Mohawk Valley Land Bank (GMVLB)'s mission is to strengthen communities across the Mohawk Valley by helping to return neglected and abandoned buildings to productive use; and

WHEREAS, an amendment has been proposed to the intermunicipal agreement making adjustments to the qualifications of the GMVLB Board of Directors membership and to extend the agreement until 2022; now, therefore, be it
