"Making our community a better place to live, work, and play, by fostering the revitalization of designated areas in Pueblo"
Our primary goal is the prevention and elimination of "slum" and "blighting" influences, which serve to constrict market forces and prevent development. Established in 1959 to stimulate development in specifically designated "project areas", URAP is a governmental entity enabled by the Colorado State Statute and established by the Pueblo municipal government. Urban Renewal Authorities derive their primary source of revenue from Tax Increment Financing (TIF), which is then used to help stimulate development by utilizing a wide variety of techniques. The Urban Renewal Authority of Pueblo (URAP) currently participates in a multitude of projects, either by offering direct incentives to private developers, utilizing public/private partnerships, or by directly investing in public improvements.
John
Batey - Executive Director
Returning to revitalize his hometown, Pueblo native John Batey has more than 17 years of experience in community development, affordable housing, urban planning, state and local government administration and high-level policy analysis. He has earned a master's degree in public administration and a bachelor's degree in political science.
Mr. Batey hopes to continue building upon the agency's successful past while exploring new opportunities for partnerships with other local economic and community development agencies.
