What Knox County Land Reutilization Corporati does
Mission
The Knox County Land Reutilization Corporation (the "land bank") strengthens neighborhoods and preserves property values by strategically returning vacant, abandoned, tax-delinquent, and other properties to their most productive, and highest-and-best uses through a transparent and fair process.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
In 2024 the land bank participated in the state brownfield grant and site revitalization grant programs which led to the cleanup of multiple blighted properties across the county. In addition, three residential projects were completed with newly renovated or constructed owner-occupied houses on formerly blighted properties. The year was also spent planning for the revitalization of the former mount vernon news building and heartland commerce park.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $4.8M to $11M (+138%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2018 35% · 2020 24% · 2021 75% · 2022 26% · 2023 101% · 2024 20%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
37% of KNOX COUNTY LAND REUTILIZATION CORPORATI’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (61% for the typical peer).
