To create a pilot program for community revitalization. Economically distressed communities could apply for funding assistance to help revitalization efforts. Projects that would qualify for funding include: building infrastructure, building affordable housing, creating new jobs, providing social, health, and youth services, providing access to arts and recreation, and providing youth leadership, educational, entrepreneurial, and workforce training opportunities. Communities would be required to partner with a city. To be chosen as one of the five eligible communities, a series of requirements must be met. A progress report would be submitted to the Legislature by the program participants by January 1, 2010. See companion SB 5455.   Official Text and Analysis.
