Wayne County hooks award for Land Bank, development

Wayne County is raking in the awards for its economic development agencies and programs. Eight of those programs received achievement awards from the National Association of Counties.

Innovative county government programs that promote quality, efficient and responsive management and administration from across the country were recognized. Wayne County was recognized for a number of its economic development programs, such as the Land Bank and Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention Program.

"Revitalizing our neighborhoods requires that we work with organizations that are the most connected to their community and neighborhood," said Turkia Awada Mullin, Director of Wayne County’s Economic Growth & Development Engine. "(Our) staff and the Wayne County Land Bank, along with the County’s Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention program, are working together to develop a holistic approach to protecting and strengthening our neighborhoods."

The National Association of Counties has been around since 1930 and represents about 2,000 counties across the U.S.
