Mid-County Project Area

The Mid-County Project Area originally consisted of three project areas:  Project Area Nos. 3 (3-1986), 3-1987, and 3-1989.  Project Area 3-1986 originally included the communities of Garnet, Valle Vista, West Garnet, Homeland and Winchester; Project Area 3-1987 was composed of the community of North Hemet; and Project Area 3-1989 encompassed the community of Cabazon.  The Board approved the original boundaries of the Project Area No. 3 on December 23, 1986 via Ordinance No. 637; Project Area 3-1987 on December 22, 1987 via Ordinance No. 646; and, Project Area No. 3-1989 on July 11, 1989 via Ordinance No. 676.

In 1999, the project areas were merged and amended, adding approximately 1,307 acres to the Homeland sub-area (renamed Homeland/Green Acres).  Both the amendment and merger were approved in May 1999, via Ordinances Nos. 785 and 786, respectively.  The current project area includes a total of 7,047 acres.

Through redevelopment, a project area will receive focused attention and financial investment to reverse deteriorating trends and structures, create jobs, revitalize the business climate, rehabilitate and add to the affordable housing stock, and gain active participation and investment by citizens which may not otherwise occur in areas where the private sector are less inclined to invest without governmental assistance.  Details regarding each particular sub-area can be found via the links on the left.
