|
| Authorizes a new mechanism for cities above 30,000 in
population at least partially located in economically distressed counties to
address vacant homes in their jurisdictions, when the current owners of those
homes failed to comply with court orders related to clean-up of the properties.
The process allows the city to petition a court for appoint of a receiver, who
then has two years to either demolish, rehabilitate, or sell the property.
Contains related procedural and legal safeguards to the city, the receiver, and
the property owner. (version 1) |

CJD |

|
|
| Adjusts the breakdown of JDIG economic development awards
such that 70 percent of each award goes to the business grantee, and 30 percent
goes to the Utility Account (was formerly a 75 percent/25 percent split).
Raises the limits on award amounts in the JDIG program to allow unlimited
awards from the program in the most economically distressed areas of the state.
Reduces the state match for local government grants offered as part of the One
North Carolina Fund when the local government is located in one of the state’s
most prosperous counties. Expands the purposes for which the Industrial
Development Fund Utility Account may be used, allowing funds to be spent on
retaining jobs or expanding and existing job base in a community. Directs the
NC Department of Commerce to create individualized plans for improving the
economic performance of each county that underperforms against the economic
distress index. Reforms the current economic tier system, transforming it
into an index against which counties are compared and eliminating adjustment
factors and exceptions in current law, such as one that automatically
designates small-population counties as the most distressed in the state. While
this bill generally addresses the League advocacy goal of revising the current
economic tier system, if passed into law, it would not reform it to measure the
causes of distress or take into account sub-county data, all components of the
League goal. Directs all other state agencies and programs that utilize the
current economic distress tier ranking system to elect whether or not to use
the new index. (version 1) |

| Reforms the current economic tier system, transforming it
into an index against which counties are compared and eliminating adjustment
factors and exceptions in current law, such as one that automatically
designates small-population counties as the most distressed in the state. Makes
numerous changes to the various state economic development incentive programs.
Places limitations on where monies in the JDIG economic development grant fund
may be spent, allowing no more than 50 percent of the funds to be spent in the
state’s most-prosperous counties; reducing the amounts of these awards when calculating
them for jobs located in those counties; and directing half of the award
amounts granted to businesses in those counties to the Utility Account, among
other restrictions. Reduces the state match for local government grants offered
as part of the One North Carolina Fund when the local government is located in
one of the state’s most prosperous counties. Expands the purposes for which the
Industrial Development Fund Utility Account may be used, allowing funds to be
spent on retaining jobs or expanding an existing job base in a community.
