Steuben County Land Bank builds first new home, plans more in Erwin

The property will be sub-divided into a handful of individual parcels where new homes will be constructed over the next few years. “That would be our biggest project,” said Chris Brewer, executive director of the Steuben County Land Bank. “Hopefully we start breaking ground next year on that project. That will be a fun one.” Brewer said the new Erwin homes will follow a playbook established at 20 Townsend Ave. in Riverside, where the Land Bank is currently in the midst of its first-ever new build. While the Land Bank had undertaken major renovations at previous projects, the Riverside home is the first it has built from the ground up. “That’s the first of its kind. That’s the first new build the Land Bank has ever done,” Brewer said. “Typically we do rehabs or demos. We’re testing
