Sale of over 300 vacant parcels of HRA-owned land for construction of new, single-family homes, at market-rate prices.
It is a five-phase development totaling approximately 180 units. To date, 133 homes have been constructed and sold.
In 2010, the Redevelopment Authority approved replacing Struever Rouse Homes with GreenWorks Development as the developer.
In April 2007, HACC and the Redevelopment Authority formalized its first partnership activity at the former Domestic Linen site.
With HACC as anchor, creation of a campus that spans from Green Street to N. 6th and Harris to Reily Street.
The second phase of site improvements—temporary surface parking lot—was competitively bid, awarded in September 2009, and construction completed in June 2011.
In June 2003, the Redevelopment Authority took ownership from HUD a total of 301 low-income rental units, and obtained $11.8 million in HUD Upfront Grant funds for renovations.
From 2005 to 2009, all approvals for the land development plan were obtained, financing was assembled, all underground infrastructure was completed, and 11 homes substantially completed.
In February 2010, HRA approved replacing SBER with Landex as the Designated Developer, converting the balance (69 units) of for-sale lots into 15-year lease, then converted to for-sale.
In July 2010, PHFA awarded federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits to the project and construction began in Spring 2011, and units began coming on-line in January 2012. Welcome to the Harrisburg Redevelopment Authority's Website!
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 () 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.
The next regularly scheduled meeting is on Monday, November 27, 2023.

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.
