To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 103

The section defines an infill site as one served by existing infrastructure including water lines, sewer lines, and roads, and excludes a site served only by a road, a site in a census tract rated very high or relatively high risk for wildfire, coastal flooding, or riverine flooding under the National Risk Index of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and a greenfield. A greenfield is defined as an undeveloped site, including woodland, farmland, and open field.

“(A) means a site that is served by existing infrastructure, including water lines, sewer lines, and roads; and (B) does not include-- (i) a site that is served by existing infrastructure that only consists of a road;”

That sentence, in plain words

This kind of land already has pipes and roads. Land with only a road does not count.

What this is about

The word infill means filling a gap in a built-up place. Land at high risk of fire or flood is left out. So is land that has never been built on.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
