An Act providing for the Waterfront Redevelopment Grant Program; establishing the Waterfront Redevelopment Fund; and imposing powers and duties on the Department of Community and Economic Development.

The program establishes clear administrative procedures for grant applications and disbursement under the department's oversight.
