Desmond Mitchell bill aims at private redevelopment trusts
A bill to spur clearance of slums would create privately financed redevelopment corporations to plan and rehabilitate substandard areas. Condemnation powers would allow acquisition of 40 percent by area and 25 percent by assessed value with city planning commission approval. Tax exemptions up to 10 years would apply to rehabilitation increments, and a 5 percent cap on disbursements during the exemption period. The measure, revised from 1940, cites 600,000 substandard housing families in New York and notes current public housing cannot meet statewide needs.
