SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Housing Revitalization Zone Act. Allows the Governor to designate housing revitalization zones for the purpose of encouraging private sector rehabilitation of blighted areas through grants. The program is to be administered by the Department of Housing and Community Development. Eligibility for zone designation includes areas that (i) have per capita income below 80 percent of the median per capita income for the planning district or (ii) have a residential vacancy rate that is at least 120 percent of the average vacancy rate for the planning district. Qualified business firms and qualified owner occupants are required to meet minimum investment levels based on the type of construction. Also, the bill (i) specifies that 50 percent of all money received by local governments as grants from the Virginia Removal or Rehabilitation of Derelict Structures Fund be utilized in areas designated by the Governor as housing revitalization zones and (ii) increases from $200,000 to $1,000,000 the maximum grant from such fund. This is a recommendation of the Commission on the Condition and Future of Virginia's Cities.
