Mission Statement
The Niagara Orleans Regional Land Improvement Corporation (NORLIC) is a municipal partnership that works with communities to acquire vacant and abandoned properties. NORLIC’s efforts will return abandoned properties to productive use, creating a better community for future generations.
"Niagara County and our partners in North Tonawanda, Niagara Falls, Lockport, and neighboring Orleans County are committed to restoring our vital housing stock and commercial properties to productive use. Through the creation of the Niagara Orleans Regional Land Improvement Corp., we're helping Western New York's families realize their piece of the American Dream--and we're fighting problems like blight and petty crime by restoring our neighborhoods to vitality."
