The Grass Valley Successor Agency, formerly the Redevelopment agency met for the first time (Thursday) at city hall to begin the process of tying up the loose ends of the State’s redevelopment agency since the State terminated redevelopment due to budget constraints. The city of Grass Valley has been named as the successor agency and has the responsibility to complete contracts already in process. City Administrator Dan Holler outlines a few of those projects that are affected.

The deadline for the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule to be submitted to the state is Monday April 16th.
