What must a municipality do as part of the CHIP application process?

To pursue a housing infrastructure project, a municipality must:

  • develop and adopt a housing development plan, 
  • designate the housing development site on which housing development will occur, 
  • provide voter notice of a proposed housing infrastructure agreement,
  • execute a housing infrastructure agreement,
  • hold an indebtedness vote if the municipality will incur debt,
  • submit a CHIP Interest Form, and 
  • apply to VEPC to use tax increment financing for the housing infrastructure project.
