The Poway Redevelopment Agency was formed in 1983, with the adoption of the 8,200-acre Paguay Redevelopment Project Area. The Agency is a separate legal entity from the City and has separate revenue sources and financial records. The Poway City Council serves as the Board of Directors, and the City Manager serves as the Executive Director for the Agency.
Once a redevelopment agency is formed, the City can retain a larger portion of local property tax revenue and use those dollars to benefit the community. Since its formation, the Poway Redevelopment Agency has invested millions of dollars in the local community including the creation of new parks and community facilities, new and improved roadways, commercial and industrial revitalization, enhanced school facilities, and new affordable housing developments.
The goal of the Agency is to build and maintain a community where future generations can enjoy the same, if not better, quality of life that Poway residents enjoy today.
Every five years the redevelopment agency prepares an implementation plan that identifies future revenues and proposed redevelopment projects and programs. On December 15, 2009, The Redevelopment Agency will review the proposed Redevelopment and Housing Implementation Plan for 2010-2014. The plan is available for review at the Poway Library, the Performing Art Center, Community Park and at the City Clerk's office.
