Reno Redevelopment Agency Budget and Programs (Reno City Council Meeting 5.6.26)

After recently discussing the City of Reno’s proposed balanced General Fund budget (meaning the City is not operating at a deficit), we’re tackling another budget topic that often gets confused with it: the Redevelopment Agency, or RDA.While the General Fund pays for services like public safety, streets, and parks, RDA funding is separate and can only be used for redevelopment projects within specific areas of the city.Assistant City Manager Ashley Turney and Operations Manager Jenica Finnegan join the show to break down how the RDA works, what projects and programs are proposed for FY27, and where the Redevelopment Agency Board ultimately landed after discussion.We also recap recent Council highlights, including park path repairs funded through CDBG, updates to the Regional Road Impact Fee program, and sewer infrastructure investments supporting long-term operations
