The Venango County Land Bank was created in 2014 to deter the spread of blight and facilitate the return of vacant, blighted, abandoned and tax-delinquent properties to productive use, thereby combating community deterioration, creating economic growth and stabilizing the housing market.
The Venango County Regional Planning Commission assists local municipalities in the day to day functions related to subdivision, land development, and grant applications, and works with communities to protect their natural environments.
