Redevelopment, under the California Community Redevelopment Law (CCRL), is a tool created by state law to assist local governments in eliminating blight from a designated area known as a project area. Through redevelopment, a project area will receive the financial investment it needs to reverse deteriorating trends; attract new jobs and businesses; stimulate development of downtown improvement programs; create more affordable housing; reduce crime; and gain active participation and investment by citizens. | |
