Craig city councilors adopted a resolution Tuesday to establish the City of Craig Urban Renewal Authority.
The resolution was the next step in creating an Urban Renewal Authority in Craig. Establishing an area gives incentives to a developer to make improvements, build or fill an empty building and spruce up an obvious eyesore in the city, such as the mall. In fact, the mall is a big reason why Craig is interested in such a plan.
Currently, the city is in the presentation process with other tax amenities in the area, and once that is complete, they’ll move into the negotiations with the tax amenities and establish intergovernmental agreements formed as needed to fully implement the authority.
