What We Do
Our work focuses on creating the kind of community we think our town deserves.
We’re behind the scenes, early.
The RDA lays the groundwork, unlocks funding, and stewards resources that make it possible for long term redevelopment projects to be successful.
We’re here to meet the challenges of our growing community.
With a finger on the pulse of State College’s current needs and challenges, the RDA champions development projects with a distinctly community-first focus and spearheads research into solutions that make sense for our of-the-moment challenges.
We work with people like you, who want to invest in our town’s future.
We welcome the opportunity to reinvigorate past-their-prime properties, foster local growth and vibrancy in our community, and support life-enhancing human services so these resources can stay – and thrive – right here in town.
We serve everyone who lives here.
Neighborhoods, visitors, nonprofits, and businesses can all benefit from the RDA’s work — and from working with the RDA.
