About
The Redevelopment Commission is made up of five members: three appointed by the executive body (Mayor) and two appointed by the legislative body (City Council). The Redevelopment Commission works to identify blight and underutilized land that poses barriers to development. The commission encourages new development with the primary focus on increasing the property tax base and the creation of new jobs.
