Redevelopment
Redevelopment Agencies are one of the most
important tools a community has to help breathe new life into areas in need
of revitalization, economic development and new opportunity.
In 1985, the City of Henderson recognized the need to revitalize and
reinvest in some of its maturing neighborhoods and created the City of
Henderson Redevelopment Agency. Since then, Redevelopment has not only
provided funding for physical improvements, but has been building
communities by attracting new business and private investment that have
created new jobs, added public art to neighborhoods, and provided residents
with funding to make improvements to their homes.
Currently, the City of Henderson’s Redevelopment Agency manages
four redevelopment
areas: Downtown, Tuscany, Cornerstone and Eastside.
Water Street District
Located in the heart of Henderson, the Water Street District is well on
its way to becoming one of the hottest downtown redevelopment
areas
in the Southwest and is attracting the attention of developers,
retailers, restaurateurs, artists, future residents, and customers. The
Water Street District is a vibrant location to live, work, shop and
play.
Programs
The
City of Henderson has created many redevelopment programs
just for you. As a business or resident of the Downtown or Eastside
Redevelopment Areas, we invite you to take advantage of these exclusive
programs that can literally save you thousands of dollars on
improvements, leases, working capital, real estate and equipment.
Projects
Through redevelopment, a project area receives focused attention and financial
investment to reverse the trend toward decay and decline.
Redevelopment also helps create jobs, revitalizes the business climate,
rehabilitates and adds to the housing stock and gains active
participation and investment by citizens.
