Redevelopment
Redevelopment
is a process created to assist cities in eliminating blight
from a struggling urban area and to encourage development,
reconstruction and rehabilitation of buildings and public
spaces in that area (called a redevelopment project area).
Redevelopment project areas can include residential, commercial,
industrial, and retail districts.
Without
redevelopment, California’s cities would sprawl endlessly
into the countryside and existing urban areas would decline.
This pattern of growth drains our economy, represents a huge
waste of infrastructure, and leaves many of our fellow citizens
trapped in otherwise abandoned neighborhoods.
Redevelopment
enables communities to grow inward, not just outward. Redevelopment
enhances local businesses, renovates deteriorated housing,
and improves public facilities. It helps to reduce crime and
long commutes, promotes affordable housing, and preserves
the environment. This benefits everyone, even those who don’t
live in a redevelopment project area.
Building community together!
