REUSE OF ABANDONED LAND
‘‘SEC. 901. SHORT TITLE.
‘‘This title may be cited as the ‘Abandoned Land
Reuse Act of 1993’.
‘‘SEC. 902. FINDINGS.
‘‘The Congress finds that—
‘‘(1) past uses of land in the United States for
industrial and commercial purposes or the conduct
of other economic activities have created many sites
throughout the United States that are now aban-
doned or substantially underutilized;
‘‘(2) the abandonment or substantial under-
utilization of the sites referred to in paragraph (1)
contribute substantially to the economic and social
distress of communities in large portions of the pop-
ulation, including poor and unemployed individuals
and disadvantaged population groups, have con-
centrated;
‘‘(3) the abandonment or substantial under-
utilization of the abandoned sites impairs the ability
of the Federal Government and the governments of
States and political subdivisions of States to provide
employment opportunities for, and improve the eco-
nomic welfare of, the people of the United States
and the poor, unemployed, and disadvantaged, in
particular;
‘‘(4) the abandonment or substantial under-
utilization of the abandoned sites results in the inef-
ficient use of community development facilities and
related public services, and extends conditions of
blight in local communities;
‘‘(5) the manner in which—
‘‘(A) the population of the United States is
distributed; and
‘‘(B) 
communities 
accommodate 
the
growth of the national economy;
affects the employment opportunities, availability of
capital to provide economic opportunities, social con-
ditions, and other important conditions of each such
community;
‘‘(6) the private market demand for abandoned
sites has been reduced or eliminated;
‘‘(7) the capital available for the redevelopment
or reuse of abandoned sites may be limited;
‘‘(8) cooperation among Federal agencies and
the departments and agencies of States and political
subdivisions of States is necessary to accomplish
timely redevelopment or reuse of abandoned sites;
