What is the Concord Redevelopment Agency?
The Concord Redevelopment Agency (Agency) is one of the most important sources of public investment in Concord . It is a locally controlled public entity that exists to alleviate blight and improve the city, create jobs, and strengthen the tax base. The Agency is governed by the Concord City Council, which serves as the Board of Directors, but in fact is a separate and distinct entity from the City. By law, Agency funds must be spent on projects that benefit the City’s redevelopment project area.
