ANIZDA was created to follow the rules of Neighborhood Improvement Zones (NIZ). It can buy land, build, improve, own, and rent out businesses in the NIZ area.

It can also take over some jobs from another authority called ACIDA and work on making the specific parts of the city, within the Neighborhood Improvement Zone (NIZ), better. ANIZDA can also handle money to pay for these projects or take over debts from ACIDA for the things happening in the NIZ.
