The Redevelopment Authority of the City of Harrisburg’s mission is to eliminate blighting conditions that inhibit neighborhood reinvestment, to foster and promote sustainable neighborhood revitalization and urban renewal, and to facilitate new business and housing development. Toward that end, the Redevelopment Authority:
- Prepares and implements comprehensive redevelopment plans
- Assembles real estate for redevelopment
- Is empowered to borrow money, issue bonds and make loans
- Can condemn property (eminent domain) in furtherance of redevelopment activities
Established in 1949, the Redevelopment Authority partners with the City of Harrisburg’s Department of Building and Housing Development to carry out the City’s urban renewal and revitalization strategies. To achieve its goals, the Redevelopment Authority may itself redevelop real estate, but it primarily engages in public/private partnerships to leverage local, state, and federal funding for new business and housing development.

BROWNFIELDS ASSESSMENT PROJECT
HRA administers a Community Wide Brownfield Assessments Project (Assessment Project) funded by the US Department of EPA.
The Assessment Project can perform environmental assessments on “brownfields” which are vacant commercial property or land containing environmental contaminants in ground, its facilities or its airflow due to a history of industrial use. The term “Brownfield” is also used to describe property that only “may have” or even likely do not have any contamination but are affected in character due to proximity to other brownfields. Environmental Assessments serve to resolve any question about a property’s environmental condition and to determine the type and nature of contamination if any exists at all. These assessments are conducted for determination purposes only without any condition or requirement of enforcement by this project
The Assessment Project is a continuation effort based on a previous 2017-2019 EPA Brownfield Area Wide Plan of South Allison Hill Industrial Park, and expands to include industrial parts of Cameron Street paralleling the Paxton Creek and around the Harrisburg Transportation Center.
