Join us for a powerful yet concise teaching module designed for involved citizens and civic leaders interested in understanding and communicating a resolution that works in 17 jurisdictions across Pennsylvania including Harrisburg.

Learn: 

• How land values are created 
• What vacant lots and abandoned buildings cost city residents and city wage earners
• The total revenue that comes directly from the value of land in your city
• Why population loss does not diminish expenses proportionately What can be done to relieve the at-risk areas of the city from the confiscatory burden of taxation

For thousands of years, cities have been the most economical places to live and work however, many of America’s old Industrial Cities are losing population. As they do, their tax base erodes, but the expenses remain the same.

Why do so many cities have trouble making the transition from manufacturing to high tech and the service industries?

What are the reasons two identical buildings --- apartments, offices, and houses, rent for significantly different amounts of money? The answer is but one: LAND.
