Background:        

Orange County currently is pursuing a variety of redevelopment activities to maintain and enhance Orange County’s established residential communities despite current economic conditions. Last year, Orange County Government hosted the successful “Collaborate 2008: Orange County Infill and Redevelopment Conference,” and this year’s follow-up event has a new focus on doing redevelopment in difficult economic times.
