A 9403 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to the use of property in a land bank for community gardens

This bill allows local land banks to create a specific priority list for how they use vacant properties, placing community gardens at the top of that list alongside public spaces. It gives local governments the authority to rank potential uses for these properties, such as affordable housing or commercial activities, in a specific order. By amending existing state law, the measure ensures that community gardening is formally recognized as a primary option when managing foreclosed land. The change applies immediately to any land bank established under the new rules.
