Overview
This bill modifies the Infill Infrastructure Grant Program of 2019 to expand the definition of a ‘qualifying infill project’ to include residential or mixed-use projects located on previously developed or vacant sites with at least 75% of the perimeter adjoining developed urban areas. It also adjusts the definition of ‘affordable unit’ to 80% of the area median income and revises the ranking criteria for grant applications, prioritizing transit access, walkability, and proximity to essential services. The bill also streamlines the application process for small jurisdictions.
