Northeast Public Development Authority

About Northeast Public Development Authority

The Northeast Public Development Authority (NEPDA or Northeast PDA) is a municipal corporation created through a partnership between the City of Spokane and Spokane County. The Northeast PDA exists to revitalize historic Hillyard and its surrounding industrial areas in anticipation of the completion of the North Spokane Corridor later this decade. The organization advances this mission through long-range planning, strategic real estate and infrastructure investment, regulatory coordination, and the alignment of public and private resources to support equitable, community-centered revitalization. The Northeast PDA is embarking on an ambitious development program aimed at activating underutilized land to provide badly needed housing, community services, and commercial space. We are leveraging partnerships with leading local institutions and state agencies to increase their programming in the area through these ventures and are confident that these projects will act as catalysts for further private investment in the area. We are leading the process with the completion of the Hillyard Subarea Plan, a roadmap for the future development of the communities we serve in NE Spokane. This represents a regional planning effort that analyzes the area’s assets and liabilities, outlining a plan to capitalize on our strengths and address challenges. The plan focuses on targeted investments in critical infrastructure that are needed to ensure businesses can thrive, and on broad scale zoning updates that ensure the current land use mix is supportive of the broader vision.
