Abstract:
751 South developers, a mix-use 167-acre project near Jordan Lake, were denied sewer and water service by Durham City Council. However a bill proposed by Rep. Tim Moore may force the city to offer these services to the area. Senate Bill 382 was amended to forbid cities \"from denying water and service to a project in its designate urban growth area outside municipal limits.\"
Abstract:
Brownfields are underused or abandoned industrial or commercial sites having contaminants that affect potential profitability. Sites could not be used unless totally cleaned up; new owners could be held liable for any pollution problems from the old site. The Brownfields Property Reuse Act of 1997 is more flexible in its approach to usage and removes these restrictions from potential developers. While the law removes major impediments, dangers of contaminants may still exist.
