Overview

The Executive Director, along with the Deputy Director and the Associate Directors, serve as a management team, providing general guidance and advice to the Authority's staff. Other expert and special assistance is obtained through independent and consultant contractual arrangements.

The Redevelopment principles of community building guide the Redevelopment Authority's mission, core values, strategic plan and general operations. The Authority is committed to building stronger communities by supporting projects designed to enhance balanced growth, job creation and quality of life.

The Redevelopment Authority facilitates redevelopment through partnerships with other private and/or public-sector partners by:

• Acting as a catalyst for physical improvement projects through property assemblage, site preparation, technical assistance and financing programs;
• Serving as negotiator for property acquisitions and owner participation agreements because these are fundamental redevelopment tools; and
• Serving as facilitator for purchase and sale agreements involving other parties.

The Redevelopment Authority uses the basic critical rebuilding tools:

• Provide planning for community development and neighborhood revitalization;
• Implement and facilitate neighborhood improvements;
• Facilitate development and redevelopment of real estate;
• Provide technical assistance to strengthen local community development and other organizations; and
• Coordinate revitalization and redevelopment rebuilding efforts within Prince George's County.
