Bill > HB5635

This bill establishes the Coalfield Housing Revitalization Tax Credit, which provides a state tax credit to individuals or entities who contribute to the rehabilitation of vacant or dilapidated residential properties located in "coalfield counties." A coalfield county is defined as any county in West Virginia that has a historical connection to coal mining, has economically benefited from the coal industry, or has been significantly impacted by it. The tax credit will be equal to 50 percent of the taxpayer's eligible contribution, and the rehabilitated properties can be used for workforce housing, specifically for educators, healthcare workers, first responders, and public employees. The bill also prioritizes projects that have the support of county commissions, housing authorities, or municipal redevelopment agencies.
