About CILBA

The Central Illinois Land Bank Authority (CILBA) works with 32 member communities across 10 downstate Counties to reclaim vacant and abandoned properties. The land bank partners to revitalize neighborhoods, increase property values, stabilize real estate markets, and drive resources to benefit community residents.
