The city of Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency (RDA) was created in 1986 by the Nevada Legislature to help turn around the urban decay in downtown Las Vegas. The goal of the RDA is to work in concert with the community and private sector to reverse the physical, economic and social blight within its designated boundaries. The RDA is designed to stimulate new development and redevelopment. These developments in turn create additional tax revenue that can be used to provide services for city residents. The existing tax base and revenues that existed at the time the RDA was established continue to benefit schools, public safety and other public needs.
