What is a Redevelopment Agency?

Created by California Community Redevelopment Law, redevelopment agencies, through the combined efforts of government, the community and the private sector, pursue the elimination of economic, social and physical blight.   A deteriorating area does not pay its own way and quickly becomes a financial drain on the entire city.  Oceanside’s Redevelopment Agency is governed by the City Council acting as the Community Development Commission. The City Council and the Redevelopment Agency are two separate, distinct legal entities.
