In a two bill package Senate Bill 69 would allow a 100 percent real estate tax exemption on new housing in blighted inner city areas for three years, with local authorities certifying deteriorated sites and possibly joint municipal action for overlapping zones. Senate Bill 305 expands exemptions to improvements on industrial and commercial property in inner cities for up to 10 years, requiring public hearings, district boundaries, and a defined cost cap, aimed at revitalizing blighted areas and aiding the housing and business sectors.
