Redevelopment Project Areas

Weber Median Improvements

Through the redevelopment process, designated project areas receive focused attention and financial investment to reverse deteriorating trends, create jobs, revitalize the business climate, rehabilitate and add to the housing stock, and gain active participation and investment by citizens that would not otherwise occur.

Redevelopment is a process created by California State law to assist city and county governments in eliminating blight from designated areas and to attract development, reconstruction and rehabilitation of deteriorated urban settings. Redevelopment has proven to be one of the most effective ways to breathe new life into areas plagued by social, physical, environmental and economic conditions which act as barriers to new investment by private enterprise.

The City of Stockton Redevelopment Agency was formed in 1955. The City Councilmembers are the government board for the Redevelopment Agency. Our Agency has formed eleven separate Redevelopment Areas (RDA's), but has merged five smaller areas into the larger RDA's over the years. Stockton now has a total of four Redevelopment Project Areas.

State law allows Redevelopment Agencies to obtain funding through "tax increment financing." How tax increment financing works: On the date that the City Council approves a Redevelopment Plan for a certain area, the property within the boundaries of that area has a certain total property tax value. This is the base. If this total property tax value increases over time, the increase value over the base is called "tax increment." Tax increment goes to the Redevelopment Agency to fund projects within the Redevelopment Plan area.
