Such temporary advances shall be repaid out of any State capital grant which may become payable to the municipality or local public agency when the urban renewal project involved is initiated; provided, that any such planning advance may be treated by the commissioner as a grant to the extent that a State capital grant is not payable to any municipality or local public agency because the urban renewal project is not initiated; and provided further that any such advance shall be repaid in cash if the project is terminated by the municipality or local public agency without the consent of the commissioner. (b) The commissioner may also make temporary advances to a municipality or local public agency to permit the acquisition of real property in an urban renewal project area, subsequent to the surveying and planning therefor but prior to the final approval of the urban renewal project plan and the execution of a contract with any department or agency of the United States for a capital grant or a loan and grant; provided, that no such advance shall be made unless such acquisition has been approved by the governing body of the municipality in which such project is or will be located; and provided further, that no sale, lease or other disposition of such land may be made without the prior written approval of the commissioner. When the urban renewal project involved is undertaken such advances shall be repaid out of any funds, including State capital grants, becoming payable to the municipality or local public agency in connection with said project. In the event such urban renewal project is not undertaken, the commissioner may require the sale of such land by the municipality or local public agency and reimbursement of such advances out of the proceeds of such sale.

2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 52 - State Government, Departments and Officers|Section 52:27D-61 - Legislative findings

52:27D-61. Legislative findings  The Legislature finds that there is an extreme shortage of safe and sanitary accommodations in this State available to families with moderate incomes, and that the ordinary operations of private, profit-making enterprises alone cannot satisfy the demand for such dwelling accommodations. The Legislature finds further that there are in this State many slums and blighted areas which are injurious to the health, safety and welfare of the residents of this State, and that existing programs and technology have not as yet developed techniques for the elimination of such slums and blighted areas. The Legislature hereby finds that various nonprofit corporations and associations and mutual housing associations are desirous of organizing to construct or rehabilitate housing units for families of moderate income, but that those corporations and associations require development funds and technical assistance in the organization and management of nonprofit corporations and mutual housing associations, and that the provision of such development funds and technical assistance to those corporations and associations will maximize the availability of Federal funds and credits which may be used for the construction or rehabilitation of housing units for residents of this State. Further, the Legislature finds that housing development and demonstration programs conducted by the Department of Community Affairs, whether singly or in participation and co-operation with Federal, State or local agencies or with private enterprise, will accelerate the pace of research into, and the development of, techniques for the provision of better, faster and more economical methods of constructing and rehabilitating housing units for families of moderate income, and of eliminating the slums and blighted sections of the urban and nonfarm rural areas of this State. The Legislature further finds that the authority and powers conferred under this act constitute and serve a valid public purpose. L.1967, c. 82, s. 3, eff. May 31, 1967.
