17. Relocation and Acquisition
The information in this webinar for Relocation and Acquisition only applies to Economic Development and RLF-ED funds
If municipalities have received CDBG funds for planning, public facilities or public facilities economic development projects, then the instructions in the Public Facilities Implementation Manual apply
URA is the Uniform Relocation and Real Property Acquisition Act of 1970 as amended (49 CFR 24) 17

18. Relocation and Acquisition
Difference is due to requirements for governmental entity versus private entity
Acquisitions by a non-public entity are typically conducted without the threat of eminent domain; however certain notification procedures under URA must be followed 18

19. Relocation and Acquisition
Acquisitions
The UGLG/business notifies the owner in writing of the property’s market value; and
The UGLG/business notifies the owner prior to making an offer, that it will not acquire property if an amicable settlement cannot be reached 19

20. Relocation and Acquisition
Takes place after the acquisition is complete
The seller of property is not eligible for relocation compensation
Tenants may be eligible if they are to be displaced or relocated
If a homeowner, residential tenant, business (including non-profits and farms) or business tenant will or may potentially be displaced, the UGLG should ensure the business provides the tenant with the applicable brochure at the time of the initial contact (Wisconsin Relocation Rights Residential or Wisconsin Relocation Rights for Businesses, Farms and Non-profits) 20
