A LETTER FROM MALB EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
The year 2024 marked 30 years of the Metro Atlanta Land Bank (MALB) being a vital force in shaping the development landscape of Atlanta and Fulton County—contributing to expanded opportunities for residents and fostering neighborhood vibrancy. In 1991, the visionary leaders of the City of Atlanta and Fulton County took decisive action to incorporate the Fulton County/City of Atlanta Land Bank Authority, Inc., now doing business as the Metro Atlanta Land Bank. Since becoming operational in 1994, the organization has grown and evolved to meet the diverse needs of its stakeholders and communities. Our mission remains steadfast: to support the creation of (1) vibrant communities, both market-rate and affordable housing, and (2) economic opportunity by providing developed properties and (3) public spaces to benefit the residents of Atlanta and Fulton County. Thank you to all who have contributed to this story of success over the past three decades. This Annual Report highlights the continued resilience and programmatic innovation demonstrated by MALB’s dedicated staff, Board of Directors, partners, strategic vendors, and engaged stakeholders. We invite you to review these highlights and encourage your feedback, questions, and ideas—especially those that spark bold, creative uses for vacant or improved land for affordable and market-rate housing, commercial, or community development.
We remain committed to service in 2025 and look forward to sharing continued progress and accomplishments in our next report.
In service,
Christopher Norman Executive Director
