Mission Statement 
The purpose of Lien Forward Ohio is to return vacant, tax-delinquent land to productive use.
Abandoned, unproductive, unattractive land – particularly in our older cities but also in our inner-ring suburbs – is a significant regional problem and an impediment to economic progress. Lien Forward Ohio is committed to collaborating with key stakeholders in the public and private sectors to facilitate constructive, aesthetic land reutilization. We believe that strategic land reutilization helps to renew our central cities, bolster our suburbs and strengthen our regional economy.
