PURA proposal for joint management/TIF administration agreement with county CRA
Cherish Deeg, executive director of the Pueblo Urban Renewal Authority (PURA), presented a proposal for a management agreement whereby PURA staff would facilitate/staff the county's new Community Revitalization Authority (CRA), leveraging PURA's TIF experience (17 active urban renewal areas, 8 with TIF revenue bonds).
