The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6781, mandates the Department of Economic and Community Development to conduct a comprehensive study on ground floor commercial property vacancies within the state. The study will focus on identifying the causes of these vacancies and will explore strategies to promote the growth of ground floor commercial properties.

The bill emphasizes the importance of filling these vacant spaces with diverse retail stores, restaurants, and small businesses that reflect the community's diversity. This initiative aims to address the issue of commercial property vacancies and enhance the economic vitality of local communities. There are no deletions from current law noted in this bill, as it introduces new legal language to facilitate the study and recommendations.
