BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
By implementing the CRA Investment Program, the CRA has introduced an additional strategy to continue its successful redevelopment journey. The attraction of new businesses, retention of longstanding businesses, assistance to struggling businesses, and strong encouragement of private investment are all important and vital components of a robust, comprehensive redevelopment approach.
Buildings that occupy the public realm, if dilapidated and unattractive, contribute to slum and blight, keep away patrons, discourage business, often are not code compliant, can be unsafe, and do not fully contribute to the tax rolls. Improving the public realm is exactly what the CRA is intended to do and encouraging private enterprises to be a partner in the process is not only smart business, but it greatly increases the chances for long-term successful change.
