The Redevelopment Agency was created by the Town Council in September 1997. Its powers and duties are derived from sections of the Connecticut General Statutes. The five (5) members on the Commission are appointed for a five (5) year term by the Town Manager with the approval of the Town Council.

The Redevelopment Agency was established to help promote economic development projects within the Town, assist the Economic Development Commission, provide guidance on financing issues to local small businesses, review the Town’s plans of development, market the Town of South Windsor to businesses that are either looking to relocate or expand, and make appropriate recommendations to the various boards and commissions. In addition, the Agency will take a more global look at the opportunities that may be present for the Town to capitalize on.

The Redevelopment Agency shall be authorized to exercise all the powers provided by Sections 8-124 to 8-139, Chapter 130, of the Connecticut General Statutes, as they may be amended. The Statutes may be viewed by clicking this link: https://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_130.htm
