Lafayette Urban Renewal Authority

On April 20, 1999, the City Council approved a resolution establishing the Lafayette Urban Renewal Authority. The Authority was created in response to a citizens’ petition for the formation of an urban renewal authority, findings of blight in the Old Town Area, and following a public hearing on thematter. The purpose of the Authority is to serve as the public entity to effect revitalization and redevelopment in the downtown area. The Authority will work in partnership with property owners to improve existing structures, bring new commercial and mixed use development to raw land within the blighted area, and prevent deterioration of properties within the area.

On March 5, 2012, the City Council authorized a change in governance of the Lafayette Urban Renewal Authority to a citizen board.  The change in governance shall be effective upon City Council's approval of the mayor's appointment of seven board members.
