Welcome to our celebration of over 30 years of redevelopment success in Santa Ana.  Since the City’s first Redevelopment Project Area, Central City (Downtown), was adopted in 1973 (and subsequently expanded in 1975) tremendous strides have been made throughout the city in creating new business opportunities (Economic Development), developing new venues for visual and performing arts www.aplaceforart.org., renovating commercial and industrial areas, enhancing residential neighborhoods through a variety of affordable housing programs, building new schools,  as well as upgrading infrastructure and roads.  Currently the Redevelopment Agency offers a Facade Improvement Rebate Program to small business owners along South Main St and in the Downtown area.

Today over 5,000 acres of the city are located within six redevelopment project areas.  These areas are: Central City; Inter City; North Harbor; South Harbor; South Main; and Bristol Corridor.  The Bristol Corridor Project Area was adopted in 1989, while the preceding four areas were adopted in 1982.  The Santa Ana Community Redevelopment Agency is successfully achieving its intended purpose in these areas, which is to act as a catalyst for new private investment.
