Iowa HF517 establishes a grant program for demolishing vacant school buildings in low-population areas.

Iowa HF517 creates a vacant school building demolition grant program, administered by the economic development authority. The program provides grants to political subdivisions for demolishing vacant buildings previously used as school attendance centers or administration buildings. The grants prioritize areas with populations under 2,500 and counties among the 88 least populated in the state. The authority must coordinate with political subdivisions to ensure the demolition aligns with community development goals.
