Recommendations include:

  • Support additional state funding for infrastructure projects related to housing development through revolving loans or grants.
  • Support more resources for brownfields redevelopment and efforts to improve efficiencies at the state agencies who fund and approve brownfields redevelopment projects.
  • Support tax incentives for homeownership programs targeted at first-time buyers or low income buyers.
  • Support consideration of novel approaches to tax sales that would enable certain qualified community development groups to compete against institutional investors for tax sale properties.
