Formed in 1990, the Inland Valley Development Agency is a special military base reuse joint powers authority created by and through specific State of California Legislation (AB 419) pursuant to Public Law 100-526 under BRAC-I. The IVDA is a regional organization comprised of local intergovernmental member agencies including: County of San Bernardino, and the Cities of Colton, Loma Linda, and San Bernardino.

The IVDA is charged with obligations and responsibilities to serve as the Local Reuse Authority to achieve successful implementation of the base reuse plan for the effective reuse of the former Norton Air Force Base. This includes support for a public airport and various lands and buildings. In 2002, the IVDA entered into an Exclusive Master Disposition and Development Agreement with Hillwood – a Perot Company.  The successful public-private partnership is now known as Alliance-California and is home to multiple Fortune 100 and 500 firms.
