Redevelopment Authority - Organizational Principles & Rebuilding Tools

The overarching organizational principles of community building guide the Authority's mission, core values, strategic plan and general operations. The Authority is committed to building stronger communities by supporting community organizations and implementing programs and improvement activities designed to enhance balanced growth, job creation and quality of life.

Furthermore, the Authority acts as a facilitator of redevelopment through partnerships with other private- 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 negotiations and owner participation agreements as fundamental redevelopment tools; and
• Serving as facilitator for purchase and sale agreements involving other parties.

The organizational principles, along with these five critical rebuilding tools, define the overall services and operations for the Authority.

• 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.
