Martin Manna appointed to Oakland County land bank authority board

Martin Manna has been named to the newly formed Oakland County Land Bank Authority, from a pool of 15 applicants. The land bank was created to acquire property titles, typically through the tax-foreclosure process, and sell the land to owners as a way to get the properties back on the tax roll.

District 5 Commissioner Kristen Nelson, D-Waterford, chairs the legislative affairs and government operations committee, which interviewed leading contenders for three positions.

The committee members met and recommended appointing Pontiac‘s deputy mayor, Khalfani Stevens, Beverly Hills Village Manager, Jeffrey Campbell, and Martin Manna, president of the Farmington Hills-based Chaldean-American Chamber of Commerce, to the board.

Manna’s term ends one year from the date of appointment, on August 17, 2023.
