Blue Ribbon Projects

Summary

The bill establishes a statutory framework for “blue ribbon projects” on at least 15,000 contiguous acres, requiring that at least 60% of the land be reserved for conservation and that up to 40% be developed as dense, walkable mixed‑use housing and commercial space. It mandates a locally approved master plan, specific overlay zoning, and sets out review, appeal, and environmental procedures. The intent is to encourage landowners to protect natural and agricultural resources while allowing sustainable, compact development.
