Regalado says pilot loan program will force administration to remediate long‑ignored county parcels
Summary
Sponsor Commissioner Regalado argued the loan program will push the county and developers to remediate contaminated county properties that have accumulated on planning lists for years and that repayments will replenish the fund.
Commissioner Regalado framed the ordinance as a practical tool to address long‑standing remediation delays on county parcels. She recalled an earlier pilot (DRIP) she brought forward for water and sewer infrastructure and said the county has a long list of sites it has not remediated.
"This is a way to kind of kick start that," Regalado said, arguing the loan program lets the county take a small portion of the fund and put it to work on large county‑owned sites. She reiterated the substitute narrows eligibility to county‑owned, fee‑simple parcels and stressed applicants would be reviewed by the administration and brought to the Board for approval.
