Bill Summary
Relative to the conveyance of municipal property for the construction of mixed-use developments that include housing. Municipalities and Regional Government.
AI Summary
This bill aims to encourage public-private partnerships to create affordable housing at public sites. It allows municipalities to convey property through a ground lease or other interest to a private developer, urban redevelopment corporation, or nonprofit to construct a mixed-use development that includes housing and a municipal facility, such as a library or fire station. At least 40% of the housing units must have an affordable housing restriction and be affordable to low or moderate-income households earning up to 80% of the Area Median Income. The bill also allows municipalities to acquire property to transfer for such mixed-use developments and exempts the construction and development activity from certain public procurement laws, while still requiring compliance with prevailing wage requirements.
