The Redevelopment Commission promotes and implements economic development projects, acting as a catalyst to redevelop blighted and other areas that have shown a cessation of growth and lack of development.  This is done through techniques including real estate acquisition, site preparation, and infrastructure development. Financing resources generally used are Tax Incremental Financing and Redevelopment General Obligation Bonds.  The Redevelopment Commission consists of five voting members appointed by the Mayor and the Common Council of the City of Angola and a nonvoting member appointed by the MSD Steuben Co. School Board. The Commissioners serve on an annual basis and are supported by the City of Angola Economic Development and Planning department.
