The Fontana Redevelopment Agency was formed in May 1968, upon the establishment of the Downtown Redevelopment Project Area. The Downtown Redevelopment Project was designed as a long-range planning and revitalization effort, as were the subsequent Jurupa Hills, Southwest Industrial Park, North Fontana, and Sierra Corridor Projects. The major goals for these five project areas are to remove blight, promote efficient and aesthetic land uses and to stimulate private investment in Fontana.

The percentage of land in the redevelopment project areas has decreased, due to annexations, from 72% down to 60.6% of the City's residential, retail, commercial, and industrial properties fall into a redevelopment project area. These properties receive exceptional active participation from the Fontana Redevelopment Agency and through these efforts, can experience economic, social, physical, and environmental revival.

Fontana's revitalization is one of the bright spots in San Bernardino County's economy. The Community Development Department and its Redevelopment Agency continue to aggressively keep Fontana on its growth plan into the 21st century.
