HI SB1307

Establishes neighborhood revitalization boards that county councils may create by resolution, with a maximum of three boards per county, to develop and implement neighborhood revitalization strategies.

Board membership consists of at least three public members residing in the census-designated place (including at least one business owner and one homeowner) plus one ex officio member from a county agency.

Boards have authority to request funding, approve revitalization plans before county council submission, comment on proposed policies affecting the neighborhood, and advocate for plan implementation.

Requires boards to develop comprehensive neighborhood revitalization plans including objectives, boundaries, existing conditions assessment, specific projects with costs and timelines, and compliance with county and state plans.

Mandates counties provide an unspecified percentage of matching funds for any neighborhood revitalization plan or project receiving state funding, applicable to planning, land acquisition, infrastructure, construction, and administrative costs.
