To help
eliminate blight and facilitate a livable, workable area, the
Agency has funds dedicated to assist with public
improvement projects that could include street construction,
streetscape, signage, public garages, land
acquisition/disposition. These projects will grow from
public-private partnerships in accordance with the Redevelopment
law and may include mixed-use projects, public parking, public
amenities for market-rate housing, etc.
The Agency
staff continues to identify development partners in an increased
effort to combine RDA funds with multiple funding sources for
the production of various types of development within the
Project Area. These funds will provide monies for the public
amenities associated with these developments.
Additionally, the Agency is working with other City departments
to identify parcels near the downtown core that could be
developed into multi-story parking garages. This additional
parking inventory could provide alternative parking for downtown
workers as well as for visitors.
