Windsor Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agency
What is Redevelopment?
Redevelopment Map The Windsor Successor Agency supersedes the former Redevelopment Agency. Previously, redevelopment provided the financial resources for city and county governments to improve blighted areas. Redevelopment was a long-term program that provided additional funding for qualifying areas (redevelopment project area) by directing more of the property tax dollars to the redevelopment project area to help reverse deterioration and/or inadequate conditions. Redevelopment provided funding and assistance to owners and occupants through infrastructure improvements, additional affordable housing, rehabilitation and new development. Redevelopment agencies collected a larger share of property taxes generated by properties in the project area.
There are a total of 670 acres in the Town of Windsor Redevelopment Project Area of which 468 acres are in the original Redevelopment Project Area and 202 acres are in the Added Areas.
