Redevelopment To End: What comes Next?

Oakland’s Redevelopment Agency (RDA) must be abolished by February 1, 2012. The City of Oakland currently pays well over one hundred of its employees using RDA funds. The RDA is also used to develop real estate and fund affordable housing. How will the City perform these functions starting in February? A special meeting has been called for tomorrow at 4 pm in the City Council Chamber to begin figuring that out.
