The Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) was created in
1975 to assure the long-term vitality of Richfield's residential and commercial property.
It uses federal, state, and local funds to create and administer programs that encourage
investment in Richfield. The HRA consists of five board members who are
nominated by the Mayor and approved by the City Council, serving
staggered five-year terms. The City Manager serves as Executive
Director, while Community Development Department staff manage the programs.
Meetings & Minutes:
The HRA holds monthly meetings on the 3rd Monday at 7:00 p.m. at City
Hall. Meetings are broadcast LIVE on
government access cable Ch. 16.

Commercial Redevelopment:
The Richfield HRA encourages investment in commercial areas of the City using
tax increment financing (TIF). The HRA acquires and removes poor quality commercial
property then contracts with private developers for the construction of contemporary
retail and office space. The HRA also supports upgrades and remodeling of commercial
properties through the use of TIF.
