BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
The Office of Community Development has completed many redevelopment capital projects and
continues to redevelop public spaces, streetscapes and infrastructure, through the Community
Redevelopment Agency (CRA). Our Art in Public Places (AIPP) public art inventory is growing and we have raised the profile of the County’s Historic Preservation Board (HPB) through increased meeting participation, Historic Preservation month activities and Preservationist of the Year celebration. This success has created an amplified need for events, marketing and communications to stimulate, activate and advertise what the Martin County CRA, AIPP and HPB now offers the community.
