What has the Claremont Redevelopment Agency accomplished?
The Agency has completed a number of successful projects since its inception in the mid-1980s. These include assistance in developing the light industrial area between Arrow Highway and the railroad, renovation of the Baker’s Square and Peppertree Square shopping centers, and the Auto Center.Prior to the initiation of the Village Expansion, the Agency spent over $3 million to enhance the Village. This includes street paving, new street lights, adding new public parking spaces, and improved landscaping. The Agency also supported development of the retail complex on the northwest corner Bonita and Yale Avenues. Public improvements completed as part of the project included widening the sidewalk on Bonita and adding on-street parking spaces. The current Village Expansion project is currently a major focus of the Agency.The Agency has also used “housing set-aside” money to buy and clear the land for the senior apartment complex on the corner of Santa Fe Street and Indian Hill Boulevard.
