BOARD OF DIRECTORS
As the Chairman of the Redevelopment Authority of the County of Bucks it is my pleasure to welcome you to our website. The Redevelopment Authority was created in 1962, empowered by Act 385, more commonly known as the “Urban Redevelopment Law”. The Redevelopment Authority assists municipalities, businesses, private developers, homeowners, and non-profits located in the County of Bucks in the rehabilitation of blighted and deteriorated properties and reuse of abandoned, unused or underutilized commercial and industrial sites.
If you are a business we can help with numerous different projects such as expanding your space, growing your work force, assisting with environmental issues, and helping to purchase property. Low interest loans may be available as well as possible tax credits and grant funding.
If you are a Bucks County municipality, we can help you return tax delinquent property to a tax-paying state, restore vacant blighted properties, revitalize deteriorated areas and oversee and apply for state and federal grants.
We are proud of what we do at the Redevelopment Authority so please, explore our website to learn more about the Redevelopment Authority’s projects and programs. If you have any questions, comments or would like to discuss how the Redevelopment Authority can assist your business or community, please do not hesitate to give our office a call.
