Building Better Communities

The purpose of redevelopment is to eliminate economic blight, revitalize depressed sections of the City, expand the supply of low- and moderate-income housing, expand employment opportunities for jobless and low-income persons, and to provide a quality environment for the well being of all citizens. The Redevelopment Agency Board of Directors formulates the policies of the Redevelopment Agency. The members of the board are comprised of the City Council members.

How it Works:

When redevelopment agencies make improvements to deteriorated areas, property values within those areas rise, resulting in an increase in property tax revenues. State law allows redevelopment agencies to use a portion of this increase to repay debt they must incur in order to rehabilitate an area. Redevelopment agencies use these funds to build public improvements and infrastructure, clean-up contaminated soil and do other things necessary to improve the conditions of the property. Redevelopment’s commitment of funds attracts private investment and creates a chain reaction where the ultimate economic output is larger than the original public investment.
