The Department of Community Development administered the City's comprehensive plan and provided direction and support for the City's physical and economic development through community planning. DCD was established in 1969 and assumed the responsibilities of the City Planning Commission and the Urban Renewal Program. In 1972, the Office of Economic Development was created in the Department to provide information to businesses that were expanding or relocating in Seattle. DCD was the lead agency for implementing various types of grant funded projects, such as Neighborhood Improvement Program, Targeted Neighborhood Assistance Program, and Neighborhood Development Program. DCD was abolished in 1992 and its programs were relocated in the Department of Neighborhoods, Department of Housing and Human Services, Planning Department, and other agencies. DCD records include material from the City Planning Commission, Zoning Commission, Metropolitan Arts Commission, Board of Adjustment, and Urban Renewal Program.

The Economic Development Administration Grant Project Records document the funding allocation and coordination of the United States Economic Development Administration grant funding program. The Department of Community Development staff coordinated and provided central administration for the projects. EDA coordinators within the DCD worked with the Office of Management and Budget, Office of Policy Planning, Public Works, Engineering Department, and other departments to allocate funds and implement the projects. Projects included street, park, zoo, library, and civic center improvements. Documents include project applications, drawings, and correspondence.

Records are open to the public.
