Established in 1990, the Madera Redevelopment Project Area encompasses 3,609 acres. Since inception, assessed valuation has increased from $248,082,078.00 to $557,533,230.00. This represents an increase of 125%.

Expressed goals for the Agency are as follows:

• Expansion and diversification of the community’s economic and employment base through the facilitation of more year-round employment opportunities, including industrial development and expansion;
• Improvement and revitalization of the community's service commercial and industrial areas;
• Recapture of general retail sales leakage from the City of Madera to other trade centers;
• Improvement of traffic circulation throughout the Project Area, including better access to developable properties;
• Improvement of infrastructure supporting the Project Area, including street pavement, curb, gutter, sidewalk, sewer, water, and storm drainage;
• Enhancement of community facilities available to residents of the Project Area and supportive of the local population at large; and
• Elimination or mitigation of other existing blighting conditions and influences, including incompatible land uses, obsolete or substandard structures, inadequate public facilities, and/or small, irregular, or landlocked parcels.

We believe we have made great progress in meeting the objectives of the Madera Redevelopment Plan. Blighted conditions are being eliminated, jobs have been created, downtown improvements have been constructed, and hundreds of families have been provided with the opportunity to own a home.
