quickly rehabilitated and promote the safety
of neighborhoods across the state." Delgado,
speaking on the topic of finding solutions for
neighborhood blight and vacant properties at
the National Property Preservation Confer-
ence in Washington, D.C. last November after
the bill passed in the Ohio House, called it "an
important template toward the introduction
of a national course of solution for vacant and
abandoned properties."
"I think that this is a huge step forward.
I'm aware that our legislation, even prior to
its passage yesterday, has been used as model
legislation for other states. People that have at-
tended national meetings in D.C. have shared
with me several times that this bill has been
part of the discussion and presentation on how
to deal with these problems," Grossman said.
"ere were absolutely no opponents on the
bill, and there was wonderful collaboration of
people involved with blighted properties in a
lot of different ways who all understood what
an important bill this is for us to pass in the
legislature."
"I think this bill is
absolutely going to
change the industry."
