In furtherance of the requirement of the federal act for an overall economic development program, the municipal economic development commission, if a redevelopment area consists of a single town or city within this state, shall be charged with the preparation and implementation of an overall economic development program. If a redevelopment area includes two or more towns or cities, the regional economic development commission including the several towns and cities defined in such an area shall prepare and implement an overall economic development program. In the preparation of such overall economic development program, the regional council of governments of which the municipality or several municipalities included within the redevelopment area are members shall submit recommendations and comments upon such overall economic development program to the municipal or regional economic development commission submitting such program. In any such redevelopment area in which there is no municipal or regional economic development commission that has submitted such an overall economic development program within one hundred twenty days after designation of the area as a redevelopment area by the Secretary of Commerce, the regional council of governments shall prepare and submit an overall economic development program for such area. This shall not preclude the preparation and submission of an overall economic development program by any private or nonprofit organization or association representing the redevelopment area or any part thereof. Municipalities, municipal and regional economic development commissions and regional councils of governments may accept federal grants and aid for preparation of such overall economic development programs.

History: P.A. 13-247 substituted “council of governments” for “planning agency” and made technical changes, effective January 1, 2015.
