Redevelopment Commission

Responsibilities, Petitions, & Other Resources

Created by local ordinance, as permitted under Indiana Code 36-7 (’76 Code, §10-32), the mission of the Redevelopment Commission is to promote and encourage business growth and expansion while appropriating land use and improvements within the City of Alexandria. In doing so, they facilitate discussions on economic development issues, provide land use and development information to local elected and appointed officials, and provide public input on development, land use, and other economic development issues. The commission also establishes the city’s Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts.

This department utilizes the City Redevelopment Plans to develop various projects aimed at redevelopment in the City. The Executive Director coordinates the planning process between the Commission and various City Staff and is responsible for developing a budget for approved projects. The Executive Director works with the Mayor to seek grant funding for a project when appropriate.
