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.

Salt Lake County has established a Redevelopment Agency known as the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake County (the “County RDA”).
