Public Database of Undeveloped Government-Owned Land Transparency
This law increases transparency for local governments receiving federal community development grants. It mandates that these entities must maintain a publicly accessible, searchable online database listing all parcels of undeveloped land they own. This change provides citizens and developers easier access to information about vacant lots, potentially streamlining planning for new housing and community projects.
Key points
Local governments receiving federal CDBG grants must create a public registry of all undeveloped land they own.
