Captured November 27, 2007.In 1991, the City formed an urban renewal agency to assist in making public improvements in the downtown area for the benefit of the community. The Agencyâ s projects must occur within a defined geographical boundary as shown in the adjacent map. Projects typically deal with making major street improvements, building parks, providing public amenities, working on projects that aid economic development, building a new city hall, leveraging other public funds and grants, and providing assistance to property owners in the downtown core area through a rehabilitation/façade improvement grant program. The Agency is scheduled to have all projects completed by 2019. The West Valley View master plan is a project of the Agency and, with the City as a joint applicant, has obtained a $1 million grant in federal funds for assistance in building this project.
