HB 1664 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act providing for the redevelopment of older buildings; and establishing the Older Building Redevelopment Assistance Grant Program and the Older Building Redevelopment Fund.

HB 1664 establishes a state grant program and a dedicated fund to provide financial assistance for renovating or redeveloping older buildings. The Older Building Redevelopment Assistance Grant Program would offer grants to property owners and developers to update aging commercial or residential structures, with funding sourced from the newly created Older Building Redevelopment Fund. This bill directly affects owners of older buildings seeking to redevelop properties that may lack modern infrastructure. The program aims to support local revitalization efforts through state-funded grants, though the bill remains pending after being laid on the table.
