Historical Note
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.
Records of a program to build playgrounds at elementary schools and
parks. Community-initiated projects were carried out by volunteers, with block
grant funds for training, tools and materials. Records include correspondence,
grant files, budgets, drawings and clippings.
Arranged in two subseries, Subject files and Project files.
Records are open to the public.
