The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Clarita was created on November 28, 1989 to undertake redevelopment activities that remove physically and economically blighted conditions that inhibit and continue to plague economic growth in the City. The Agency’s first and only redevelopment project area was established by the City Council on July 8, 1997. The 913.63 acre project area includes retail, industrial, public, and residential properties generally along the Lyons Avenue, and Railroad Avenue and Newhall Avenue corridors. The historic downtown Newhall area and the Jan Heidt Metrolink Station are within the project area boundaries.
