BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIQNS
Web Site development for the Redevelopment Agency,Economic Development, Housing and CDBG is a shared
goal of your Board and the Community Development Department. A key component of the Redevelopment and
CDBG programs is to develop and support economic development activities. Research has shown that properly
developed and maintained web sites can also be a catalyst for housing program development and the provision of
homebuyer's assistance information. The County and Redevelopment Agency Staff are interested in development
of a web site to facilitate economic development and housing initiatives while also providing a source of general
information that is always available to the greater community.
Lighthouse Computer Group, a Martinez-based firm, was selected through a competitive RFP process. The
Agency's goal is to have the enhanced web site operational by the 18t quarter of 2001
