Land Use - Transit-Oriented Development - Alterations (Maryland Transit and Housing Opportunity Act)

Summary

HB 894 designates any development located near a rail station that provides hourly service on weekdays as an enterprise zone, overriding the usual limit on such zones. It also requires the Maryland Economic Development Corporation to give priority to loans for projects that redevelop state‑owned land adjacent to those stations and meet other criteria. The law changes local land‑use authority, postpones some development taxes and impact fees, and adds project‑labor agreements as a factor in grant scoring.
