OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE SERVICES

 

      The OLS finds that the bill may result in an indeterminate multi-year State revenue loss by extending the deadline for a developer to submit a temporary certificate of occupancy for certain qualified projects to June 30, 2032. Through the Economic Redevelopment and Growth Grant program, the authority awards incentive grants or tax credits for a portion of project costs incurred in connection with the redevelopment project by a developer until the issuance of a permanent certificate of occupancy. Extending the deadline for the submission of a temporary certificate of occupancy may allow additional project costs to be counted in the calculation of the incentive grant or tax credit award.
