Sunnyside Redevelopment Authority
Who We Are
The Sunnyside Redevelopment Authority (SRA) exists to facilitate positive development of the area within the Tax Increment Zone #26 (TIRZ #26) boundaries.
Tax increment dollars collected within the boundaries of the Zone are reinvested back into the Zone through the Board of Directors. The SRA pursues to construct the necessary public infrastructure that will lead to private capital investment in the area that respects the character and culture of Sunnyside, offers a corresponding increase in the tax base, and creates economic opportunity.
It accomplishes this by providing financial incentives through public/ private sector partnerships designed to drive economic development in the Historical Sunnyside Community.
Improve and enhance corridors, mobility and connectivity throughout the Zone.
Enhance public infrastructure, facilities and services throughout the Zone.
Promote economic opportunity and private investment and reinvestment in the Zone.
Develop and enhance green spaces, gathering places, trails, recreational or public facilities, and cultural amenities.
Promote and support community heritage, culture, character, and affordability for current residents.
