MISSION

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

Mt Pleasant

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.

ABOUT HRA

Capitol Heights

In 1949, the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Harrisburg was incorporated by the Mayor and City Council. Since then, the Authority has obtained federal, state, and local funding to actively revitalize our communities and neighborhoods. The Commonwealth’s 1945 Urban Redevelopment Law also granted redevelopment authorities the power of Eminent Domain, which would aid the Authority in numerous future revitalization projects.
