Lindsay Oversight Board

Lindsay Oversight Board to the Lindsay Successor Agency/Redevelopment

On December 27, 2011 the California State Supreme Court upheld AB1X26 (the “Dissolution Act”) and required the dissolution of every redevelopment agency within California as of February 2012. The bill included provisions for a successor agency to a former redevelopment agency that would be directed by an oversight board comprised of representatives from various local taxing entities and organizations.
