Successor Agency (formerly known as Redevelopment Agency)

The City of Montclair Redevelopment Agency was activated in 1977 and was responsible for setting the course of redevelopment in the City of Montclair and for being sure that redevelopment plans are in the best interests of the Community.  In directing the City Redevelopment activities, the primary purpose was to encourage private redevelopment of property and to rehabilitate areas suffering from economic disuse arising from poor and inadequate planning, inadequate street layout and street access, lack of open space, landscaping and other improvements and facilities necessary to establish and maintain the economic growth of the City.  During its existence, many projects were completed which improved our community.

However, state legislation dissolved all redevelopment agencies as of February 1, 2012 and the City of Montclair Redevelopment Agency’s assets and obligations were transferred to the Montclair Successor Agency for disposition.  Available resources at the time of dissolution and annually over those required for enforceable obligations are distributed to taxing entities (state, county, schools, city and special districts).  The process of dissolution is still ongoing.  Successor Agency documents are available through the link below and additionally a recap of payment made to the various taxing entities is also available. The dissolution process is overseen by the Oversight Board, which is made up of representatives from the City, the residents of Montclair, and the various taxing agencies that receive proceeds from the dissolution process.
