An Act To Increase Affordable Housing By Expanding Tax Increment Financing
This amendment modifies the Evergreen Housing Zones program to require the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development to manage it using only existing funds. It removes the specific section that previously outlined how money would be appropriated and allocated for the initiative. Additionally, the change updates the text to specify that the program must operate within current resource limits.
