The JDA is the authority <br />responsible for, but not limited to, environmental remediation, elimination of blight, <br />infrastructure construction and financing, comprehensive planning and zoning, and economic <br />development and redevelopment. The JDA Board is comprised of two County Commissioners, <br />two City Councilmembers, and an additional non -elected City appointee as the Chair. Key points <br />of the JPA are as follows: <br />The County will purchase the site from the U.S. Government and will work with <br />Bolander and Sons to remediate the site to a residential standard including the demolition <br />of remaining buildings. — Completed <br />
