REDEVELOPMENT AGENCIES TECHNICALLY ELIMINATED
July 1, 2011
In bad news, the budget “restructures” Redevelopment agencies in a way that many feel will be disastrous for local government and real estate alike. Chris McKenzie, Executive Director, League of California Cities, said: “It is deeply regrettable that the Governor is choosing to ignore the State constitution and sign illegal legislation to eliminate redevelopment agencies. This is a smoke and mirrors budget that includes a phantom $1.7 billion in revenues from redevelopment agencies that will never materialize, ultimately triggering deeper cuts to other state programs down the line.”
