"This bill is a critical step towards revitalizing abandoned and underutilized shopping malls, fostering economic growth, and creating job opportunities in communities across our nation. With this bipartisan, bicameral legislation, we can empower local governments to invest in transformative redevelopment projects that drive economic prosperity and benefit underserved communities. I am proud to join my colleagues in introducing this legislation that will leverage the potential of these spaces to be vibrant, resilient communities for all."
