Frances J. Frazier, program coordinator for the Department of Educational Leadership in the UALR College of Education, has been appointed to the Little Rock Land Bank Board of Directors by Mayor Mark Stodola.

The Land Bank is an arm of the city that purchases vacant lots that are not being cared for and old deteriorating houses that have been abandoned with the intention of re-selling them at a low cost so they can be put back in use. It plays a key role in urban revitalization.
