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 on public sites. It allows municipalities to convey property through a ground lease or other interest to a private developer, urban redevelopment corporation, or nonprofit organization to construct a mixed-use development that includes both 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 (defined as 80% or less of the Area Median Income). The bill also allows municipalities to acquire property for the purpose of transferring it to a third party to construct such a mixed-use development, and it exempts the construction and development activity related to the municipal facility from certain procurement and contract requirements, except for prevailing wage laws.
