Oversight & Activities
The Redevelopment Commission (RDC) oversees activity and projects in three areas of Hobart. The first is the State Road 130 Industrial and Greater Downtown Redevelopment Area, and the second is the 61st Avenue and State Road 51 Economic Development Area. The newest is the US 30 and 69th Avenue Economic Development Area.
Guided by the Economic Development Plans adopted for each area, the RDC promotes job growth and investment and funds capital improvements. Taxes generated from new development are collected annually and are used to service debt from bonds issued or to pay for projects directly. The RDC is active in supporting various initiatives in the Lakefront District, Hobart’s downtown. The Economic Development Plans (including amendments) for each area can be viewed through the links below.
