BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
Section 163.361, Florida Statutes, gives a governing body (the Board) the ability to modify or amend any Community Redevelopment Plan (CRP) upon the recommendation of the CRA. This amendment, done through public hearing, consists of adding to each CRA area the ability to construct smaller capital improvement projects called Neighborhood Enhancements. The Board has already approved this activity in each area’s CIP.
Each CRA area has its own CRP which directs the improvements to be completed in that area. In order to accomplish that vision, it is often necessary to have the ability to construct smaller projects that can substantially add to the quality of life, safety and aesthetics of an area. Examples of these projects could be additional lighting, landscaping, a crosswalk, street furniture, pole banners, entryway features, signage, sidewalk, curbing and pavers.
