Summary
The bill authorizes municipalities to form special assessment districts, using property assessments to pay for roads, water, sewer, and related improvements that directly benefit new development. It also expands the state’s housing‑infrastructure grant program to cover sewer, water, and road upgrades linked to new housing units, with a nominal $1 appropriation for FY 2027. The measures aim to streamline financing for growth while ensuring only benefiting properties bear the cost.
