Central Business District Project Area   Project Area Overview The Central Business District (CBD) serves as the RDA’s most active project area. Established in May 1982, the CBD Project Area reflects the Salt Lake City Master Plan's call for strengthening the city’s tax base through economic development and growth. These efforts should provide for new commercial and housing development, as well as rehabilitation of existing downtown buildings. The CBD Project Area Plan also recommends installation of public improvements, including parking and public right-of-way enhancements. Originally, the CBD Project Area was due to expire in 2008; however, the RDA’s Taxing Entities and Board of Directors acknowledged the importance of extending the CBD Project Area to the year 2040 so the RDA could continue to provide funding for downtown improvements. The RDA's Taxing Entity Committee approved the project area extension in 2004.                                                                     With the considerable amount of construction activity changing the downtown, most markedly the new City Creek Project, the RDA continues to take an active role in downtown projects of different scales and characters.    To learn more about many of the dozens of RDA contributions to the Central Business District, please visit our RDA Projects page. If you are interested in applying for any of our programs, refer to our Programs page for a loan application and criteria, as well as a description of the programs we offer.    CBD Projects - Current Utah Performing Arts Center Coming to Downtown Click here for more information.
