A grantee must post a searchable database of its undeveloped land

What the document says
“``(7) the grantee maintains, on a publicly accessible website, a searchable database that identifies all parcels of undeveloped land owned by the grantee.''.”
The section adds a new paragraph (7) to section 104(b) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, requiring a grantee to maintain a searchable database on a publicly accessible website identifying every parcel of undeveloped land the grantee owns.
What the document actually says
“``(7) the grantee maintains, on a publicly accessible website, a searchable database that identifies all parcels of undeveloped land owned by the grantee.''.”
That sentence, in plain words
The place that gets the money must keep a list. The list goes on a website anyone can open. It names every piece of empty land the place owns.
What this is about
A grantee is a city, county, or state that takes the grant money. Section 104(b) sets out what a grantee must promise. This adds one more promise to that list.

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.
