Redevelopment Agency

Being the most populous county in the state, decisions made by Salt Lake County have a significant impact on the continued prosperity of the State. The use of scarce public resources—specifically the use of funds from redevelopment project areas—should be focused on encouraging economic development, fostering healthy communities, and supporting sustainable regional development to ensure a thriving metropolitan economy with a small-town feel.

The County supports collaborative community led efforts to effectively manage commercial and residential development, and redevelopment, to meet the robust growth anticipated in our valley.

County Redevelopment Agency

Salt Lake County has established a Redevelopment Agency known as the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake County (the "County RDA"). The County RDA performs or manages redevelopment activities within unincorporated Salt Lake County and can, via agreement or statute, provide services within Metro Townships or other municipalities located within Salt Lake County.

Other Redevelopment Agencies in Salt Lake County

Most cities in Salt Lake County, as well as Salt Lake County itself, have established a Redevelopment Agency. A Redevelopment Agency is a legal entity separate and apart from the municipality or county that established it.

The governing board of a Redevelopment Agency is comprised of the current members of the community legislative body. Thus, for a Redevelopment Agency established by a municipality, the governing board is comprised of members of the city council.

For a redevelopment established by a county, the governing board is comprised of members of the county council or county commission (depending on the form of county government).
