San Jose Redevelopment Agency

The San Jose Redevelopment Agency (SJRA, officially the Redevelopment Agency for the City of San José) was a redevelopment agency in the government of San Jose, California.

It was created in 1956 and grew into the second-largest tax increment financing agency in the state.

[1] It led the redevelopment of Downtown San Jose.

It also cofounded the US Market Access Center and San Jose BioCenter as joint ventures with San Jose State University.

During the 1990s and 2000s, the tightened real estate market impaired the agency's efforts to relocate businesses that were in the way of development projects such as San Jose City Hall.
