Regulatory Barriers Clearinghouse
Breakthroughs Newsletter
September 2008
This year's fifth edition of Breakthroughs
has just been
posted on the Regulatory Barriers Clearinghouse
(RBC)
website. In
this issue, you'll read about
land banking,
regulatory reform, and the rehabilitation
of historic
properties.
Check out the September issue of Breakthroughs
to see
how...
o Land banks can turn tax-foreclosed
or abandoned
properties into affordable housing;
o Orange County, Florida is encouraging
affordable
development by adopting expedited review
and impact fee
discounts; and
o Old and historically significant
properties can be
rehabilitated for affordable housing
purposes.
