About the Program

Redevelopment Ready Communities® is a program that evaluates and certifies cities that integrate transparency, predictability and efficiency into their daily development practices.

The first of its kind in the nation, RRC supports and accelerates the adoption of professional practices that cities, developers, business leaders and citizens alike can count on. Using a set of nationally-vetted best practices and standards, RRC helps municipalities build deliberate, fair and consistent development processes from the inside out--and to effectively communicate them to potential investors. The program taps the vision of local residents and businnes owners to shape a community-supported plan for growth. Built-out cities have the advantage of RRC's uncommon resources of private and public sector expertise as they work towards becoming better attractors for redevelopment.

When a city becomes a certified Redevelopment Ready Community, it signals that it has effective development practices. An RRC community has clear development procedures, a community-supported redevelopment vision, an open and predictable review process and much more compelling sites for developers to locate their latest projects. RRC cities know what kind of city they want to be.
