Title, Order
Authorizing Acceptance of Assignment and Release from Urban Renewal Authority
In 1957 the Maine Legislature enacted the Urban Renewal Authority Law. The Legislature authorized
a municipality to create an “Urban Renewal Authority”. 30-A M.R.S.A. §5102 (1). The Legislature
gave the Authority the power to carry out the purposes of the enabling legislation.
The City of Bangor, pursuant to the legislation, created the Bangor Urban Renewal Authority. The
intent was to implement federally funded urban renewal projects. Federal funding for the urban
renewal program ended in 1974.
Previously the City approved the acquisition by the City of property owned by the Bangor Urban
Renewal Authority. The City, through the acquisitions, accepted all of the rights and responsibilities
of the Bangor Urban Renewal Authority with regard to these properties.
This Order will authorize the execution of an Assignment and Release with the Bangor Urban
Renewal Authority to accept the transfer or any rights and property interests that the Urban Renewal
Authority has with respect to any property rights, including the right to enforce, amend or release
any terms, conditions and restrictions included in prior instruments reserved or granted by the Urban
Renewal Authority and any ownership in any real estate.
