Pine Bluff Urban Renewal Agency

The Pine Bluff Urban Renewal Agency (PBURA) was officially established on August 7, 2017, following a unanimous decision by the Pine Bluff City Council. This agency comprises five dedicated commissioners, all appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council, to serve the community's best interests.

One of PBURA's primary objectives is to secure both private and public funding to support their crucial mission. The mission focuses on eliminating blight within the city and acquiring real estate for the purpose of advancing and facilitating various redevelopment projects and urban renewal initiatives. This multifaceted approach underscores the commitment of both the Mayor's office and the City Council to revitalize Pine Bluff, ushering in a new era of growth and progress for the community. Through strategic partnerships and prudent resource management, PBURA aims to drive positive change and contribute to the city's sustainable development.
