Summary
The Infill Redevelopment Act would force counties and municipalities to allow residential building on environmentally impacted parcels of at least five acres in densely populated counties. It sets limits on density, requires buffers and extra fees when former recreational lands are involved, and gives nearby property owners a right of first purchase. The goal is to increase housing supply by making hard‑to‑develop land easier to build on.
