Overview

The city of Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency (RDA) was created in 1986 to turn around the urban decay in downtown Las Vegas.

The RDA promotes the redevelopment of downtown Las Vegas and surrounding older commercial districts by working with developers, property owners and community associations to accomplish beneficial revitalization efforts.

The Las Vegas Redevelopment Area encompasses 3,948 acres. The area roughly includes the greater downtown Las Vegas area east of I -15, south of Washington Avenue, north of Sahara Avenue and west of Maryland Parkway. It also includes the Charleston Boulevard, Martin L. King Boulevard and Eastern Avenue corridors.

Although the RDA legally is a separate entity from the city of Las Vegas, city council members sit on its board and provide input on projects.

Assistance programs provided by the RDA for companies located within the Redevelopment Area include:

  • Fast Track assistance program
  • Tax Increment Financing
  • Visual Improvement Program
  • Retail Downtown Las Vegas assistance program
