New Jersey Revised Statutes § 52:27d-50 - Temporary Advances; Repayment

52:27D-50. Temporary advances; repayment
(a) The commissioner may make temporary advances to a municipality or local public agency in anticipation of a grant to assist the municipality or local public agency in the preparation of its plans for any urban renewal project. Such temporary advances shall be repaid out of any State capital grant which may become payable to the municipality or local public agency when the urban renewal project involved is initiated; provided, that any such planning advance may be treated by the commissioner as a grant to the extent that a State capital grant is not payable to any municipality or local public agency because the urban renewal project is not initiated; and provided further that any such advance shall be repaid in cash if the project is terminated by the municipality or local public agency without the consent of the commissioner.

(b) The commissioner may also make temporary advances to a municipality or local public agency to permit the acquisition of real property in an urban renewal project area, subsequent to the surveying and planning therefor but prior to the final approval of the urban renewal project plan and the execution of a contract with any department or agency of the United States for a capital grant or a loan and grant; provided, that no such advance shall be made unless such acquisition has been approved by the governing body of the municipality in which such project is or will be located; and provided further, that no sale, lease or other disposition of such land may be made without the prior written approval of the commissioner. When the urban renewal project involved is undertaken such advances shall be repaid out of any funds, including State capital grants, becoming payable to the municipality or local public agency in connection with said project. In the event such urban renewal project is not undertaken, the commissioner may require the sale of such land by the municipality or local public agency and reimbursement of such advances out of the proceeds of such sale.
