Taylor Bennett

Taylor hails from a small town in rural western New York, situated in the northern reaches of the greater Appalachian Region and is delighted to be making her home in West Virginia. Taylor holds a master’s degree in International Peace and Conflict resolution from Arcadia University and has decade of experience working on community, economic, and agricultural development; environmental preservation; and non-profit management. Her professional pursuits have focused on land banking, addressing problem properties, and creating systems level changes to support both commercial and residential property redevelopment. When she’s not taking on land reuse challenges, Taylor can be found admiring the WV hills from horseback, growing vegetables, or chasing her son around the yard.
