The Salt Lake City Reinvestment Advisory Committee is scheduled to hold its next regularly scheduled meeting on September 2, 2026, to advise the Community Reinvestment Agency Board of Directors on various programs, activities, and project areas.
Advisory Role and Expertise
The committee serves as an advisory body to the Community Reinvestment Agency (CRA) Board of Directors.

The committee also assists in coordinating the activities of the CRA with the city's planning staff and other various entities.
