AI Summary

This bill aims to encourage public-private partnerships to create affordable housing at public sites. It allows cities and towns to convey their property through ground leases to private developers, urban redevelopment corporations, or nonprofit organizations to construct mixed-use developments that include a municipal facility (such as a library, police station, or fire station) and housing, with at least 40% of the housing units being affordable to low or moderate-income households. The bill also allows cities and towns to acquire property to transfer for such mixed-use developments and exempts the construction and development activities from certain procurement laws, except for the prevailing wage requirements.
