OVERVIEW

The Local Property Acquisition Grant Program is a competitive grant program that
deploys $25 million by providing funding to eligible applicants for the
acquisition of a vacant site, building, facility or a collection of properties,
in order to facilitate and enable future redevelopment of the property. The
Program intends to address a significant barrier in undertaking and implementing
local development and redevelopment projects.

The Program will support two products: (A) approximately $3 million for
Acquisitions for Strategic Public Use, and (B) approximately $21 million for
Acquisitions for Future Development Projects.

The parameters of each product are detailed below.

A) Acquisitions for Strategic Public Use Product

Project property acquisition(s) and the proposed subsequent Strategic Public Use
project must foster or support existing, ongoing, or planned development as part
of an overall plan for property improvements and increased public access in the
area proximate to the Property.  

Eligible Supplemental Uses for Strategic Public Use projects must be publicly
accessible spaces for the community which may include pedestrian plazas,
pocket-parks, community parks, community gardens, public walkway/access, public
parking lots/garages, or other similar public spaces.  

Ineligible types of Supplemental Uses for Strategic Public Use projects include
public infrastructure projects such as for transport, energy, communication,
water, wastewater, or general public works.   

The minimum grant request for Acquisitions for Strategic Public Use projects is
$50,000 and the maximum grant request is $1,000,000.

B) Acquisitions for Future Development Projects Product

Project property acquisition(s) and the proposed subsequent Future Development
Project must support planned development/redevelopment efforts in the area
proximate to the Property.

rehabilitation and/or new construction) are limited to:

 * Mixed-use developments; any residential portion must comply with the 20%
   reservation for low- and moderate-income households required by N.J.S.A.
