RG 33 Redevelopment Commission (1945-56) History The Baltimore Redevelopment Commission's functions were to identify slum areas, negotiate with the federal government for funds, select private builders, relocate displaced tenants, demolish existing structures, restructure streets and utilities, and assist private builders to acquire sites. As originally constituted, the commission consisted of five members appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the city council; membership was increased to seven in 1955. The following year the commission was abolished and its duties assumed by the Baltimore Urban Renewal and Housing Agency (see RG 48). Records Summary The commission records held by the archives are administrative in nature. Included are minutes, reports, correspondence, and agreements. All aspects of the commission's work are treated in the materials, although the level of detail varies. 57
