Successor Agency to Vista Redevelopment Agency
While Vista’s Redevelopment Agency’s efforts have provided the City of Vista with much needed community services, infrastructure improvements, and job opportunities, such as the Vista Business Park, Vista Village, North County Square, Costco and the Vista Transit Center, the bill that would have extended the life of California’s redevelopment agencies did not pass.
As required by State Legislation, the Vista Redevelopment Agency (RDA) was dissolved as of February 1, 2012. While the Agency no longer exists, the Successor Agency (City of Vista) has assumed responsibility for administering enforceable obligations of the RDA, completing existing projects, and moving forward with the process of formally dissolving the RDA operations over time.
