Introduced by: Thelma Drake | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Redevelopment areas. Directs the Virginia Housing Study Commission to study the current practices of certain housing authorities in designating an area as a redevelopment area but not concluding the project in a timely manner. In conducting the study, the Commission shall focus on approved redevelopment plans that were adopted prior to July 1, 2001, and consider (i) the impact of any delay in completing such redevelopment plans on effected property owners, (ii) the underlying reasons for the delays in concluding an approved redevelopment plan, (iii) the availability and sources of sufficient funding to complete such projects, and (iv) how to balance the rights of property owners and the community's need to reduce blight through the redevelopment and revitalization of neighborhoods.

It should be noted that this summary also represents the amendment in the nature of a substitute for HJR 619 that was adopted by the House Committee on Rules, prior to the tabling of the measure. This resolution has been incorporated into SJR 446 (Whipple).
