Committee backs bill to use surplus public land for housing, alters Utah Housing Corporation board rules
Summary
The House Political Subdivisions Committee recommended favorably, 6–1, on House Bill 360 — a bill that would expand use of surplus public land for moderate-income housing, adjust Utah Housing Corporation board rules and remove UHC's sunset date.
House Bill 360, a consensus item in the committee’s housing package, was recommended favorably by the House Political Subdivisions Committee on a 6–1 vote (Representative Ward opposed).
