Renaming of the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City
REQUESTED ACTION: Consider adoption of a resolution to rename the Redevelopment Agency
of Salt Lake City to the Salt Lake City Community Reinvestment
Agency
POLICY ITEM: N/A
BUDGET IMPACTS: N/A
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City (“Agency”) is seeking the
Board of Director’s (“Board”) consideration on a Resolution that would rename the Agency to the Salt
Lake City Community Reinvestment Agency. This name change would align with the legal terminology
used in Utah Code Title 17C and more accurately reflect the mission, values, and project prioritization
strategy defined within the Agency’s Guiding Framework.
ANALYSIS & ISSUES: In 1969, the Agency was founded with a charge to revitalize Utah’s Capital
City by fostering economic growth and development. Over the past 55 years, the Agency has invested in
more than 300 projects to achieve that goal. During that span of time and especially within the last eight
years, the Agency’s goals, priorities, development strategies and overarching mission have undergone
significant evolution.
During the 2016 Utah Legislative session, SB151 was successfully enacted, amending section 17C of
Utah Code and thereby formally redesignating entities previously referred to as “redevelopment agencies”
as “community reinvestment agencies.” The amendment also states that any newly created entity will be
regarded as a community reinvestment area, and any existing redevelopment agency may change its name
through resolution, State noticing, and County recording.
In 2019, the Board adopted a Guiding Framework to serve as the Agency’s updated strategic and
operational document. This Framework established a new mission statement clarifying the Agency’s
purpose, creating core values articulating intended economic, social, and physical project outcomes, and
defining livability benchmarks to measure public benefits. It also represented a formalized shift towards
prioritizing projects that produce the most public benefits for the community.

Integrating the Guiding Framework into its day-to-day operations and communications, the Agency has
subsequently created strategies, policies, and programs to further support investment in community-
minded projects and initiatives. The proposed renaming now provides an opportunity to reflect these
legislative, aspirational, and operational progressions in a context that acknowledges the Agency’s
ongoing forward direction.
NEXT STEPS:
• Upon approval of the resolution, Agency staff will provide notice to the State and County as
per statutory requirements and begin implementing the new name in communications,
website, materials, etc.
