Notice To Property Owners Whether Area Blighted

Urban renewal - blight determination - notice of determination. Under current law, before an urban renewal authority (authority) may undertake an urban renewal project for an urban renewal area, it must determine that the area is a slum, blighted area, or a combination of such conditions. When the authority determines that the area is not a slum, a blighted area, or a combination of such conditions, the authority is also required to send notice of the determination to any owner of private property located within the area within 30 days of the determination. The act modifies this latter requirement by requiring notice be provided to such property owners within 7 days of either determination being made.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
