Bill Summary

Relative to the use of certain dormant properties in historic landmark districts. Community Development and Small Businesses.

AI Summary

This bill requires that any property owner who has left a piece of real property in a historic landmark district vacant and unused, or "dormant," for at least ten years must either find a new purpose for that property or transfer it to the state's division of capital asset management, which will then work with the department of housing and community development to repurpose it. This aims to address the issue of neglected properties within historically significant areas.
