Urban Renewal

About


Urban renewal is an economic development tool to encourage private investment within a specific geographic area (district). This is done by investing public funds into capital improvements and private property improvement projects within the district. The purpose of urban renewal is to increase the total taxable value of the district.

The City of Dallas Urban Renewal Area is essentially composed of the downtown core area (see map below) and was approved in 2004. The Urban Renewal Plan contains both the structure of the overall program and a list of potential projects.
