On September 19, 2006 , an Urban Renewal Agency (URA) was formed in Riggins. Our mission is to have remediation plans that protect the public health, safety, morals and welfare of the citizens. Our goal is to be proactive and not reactive. The URA recognizes that infrastructure improvements have not kept pace with the new nor proposed residential and business development. Therefore, the URA main objective is to make these improvements without placing any tax burden on our residents and businesses. They are willing to partner with any individual or corporation to make the City of Riggins safer and maintain a high quality of life.
The appointed commissioners are all volunteers who bring to the agency a wide variety of experience and expertise. They include Chairman Glenna McClure, Vice Chairman Roy Akins, Brady Clay, Bill Sampson, Jonny Wilson, and Matt Sinclair .
The Urban Renewal Commissioners realize the City of Riggins will continue to grow and expand. They plan to focus on a ten year growth plan. They have already set four areas of priority which are: 1. Sewer improvement and expansion. 2. Greater amount of treated drinking water and storage. 3. Improved emergency response system and vehicles. 4. Parking space inside the city limits.
