An updated online resource, called the Priority Development Area (PDA) Showcase, launches today. The Showcase is an easy to use, interactive mapping tool, highlighting the Priority Development Areas throughout the Bay Area. ABAG Planning and Research staff have updated the PDA Showcase to provide interactive maps, key facts, implementation needs, and a description of the goals and vision for each PDA.

ABAG staff plan to edit and update site content with direction from local jurisdiction planners on a bi-monthly basis. Some updates and edits need to be verified internally before they are changed on the site. If you have comments or questions about content appearing on the site, please contact ABAG Regional Planner Christy Leffall: ChristyL@abag.ca.gov. ABAG staff are accepting applications for new PDAs, and for changes to existing PDAs until June 30, 2015. Click here for PDA Applications.
Priority Development Areas (PDAs) are locally nominated infill areas where there is local commitment to developing more housing along with amenities and services to meet the day-to-day needs of residents in a pedestrian-friendly environment served by transit. The growth envisioned through these PDAs is based in large part on local aspirations and community context. The PDAs reflect the diversity of the communities in the Bay Area.
