What is Redevelopment?
Redevelopment involves:
- Comprehensive planning and revitalization
- Citizen and property owner participation
- Public and private enterprise partnerships
- Improved public facilities
Redevelopment is a process created to assist city and county government in eliminating blight from a designated area, and to achieve desired development, reconstruction and rehabilitation including but not limited to: residential, commercial, industrial, and retail.
Redevelopment activities:
* Rehabilitation and Reconstruction
Existing structures may be modernized and improved; deteriorating and substandard structures may be brought up to current design standards and building code requirements.
* Redesign and Replanning
Areas with inefficient and improper site layout, lacking adequate parcel size and shape, accessibility, or usefulness may be redesigned. Areas difficult to develop due to fragmented ownership, tax delinquencies, or other causes may be redesigned, replanned, and assembled for new development.
* Assistance to Private Development
Underdeveloped or underutilized areas can be developed on an accelerated basis with the assistance of the redevelopment program. Redevelopment agencies can assist private businesses and developers through reduced land costs, loans, and other means.
* Demolition and Clearance
Existing structures, building, or other improvements may be cleared or moved from property acquired by the redevelopment agency to accomplish needed redevelopment.
* Capital Improvement Project Implementation
Areas may be improved through the construction of public facilities including, but not limited to, public buildings, streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, sewers, storm drains, water systems, and street lights.
* Affordable Housing
Redevelopment agencies must use at least twenty percent of their funds to create affordable housing for people of low or moderate incomes.
