SUMMARY:
In 2019, the Florida Legislature amended Chapter 163, Part III, Florida Statutes to provide that a community redevelopment agency in existence on October 1, 2019, shall terminate on the expiration date provided in the agency’s charter on October 1, 2019, or on September 30, 2039, whichever is earlier, unless the governing body of the county or municipality that created the community redevelopment agency approves its continued existence by a majority vote of the members of the governing body.
Pursuant to the Florida Statutes, the adopted redevelopment plans, and the ordinances establishing the redevelopment trust funds, as amended, the existence of the City of Pensacola Community Redevelopment continues until September 30, 2046. However, due to the recent statutory amendment, City Council must adopt a resolution by a majority vote to ratify the City of Pensacola’s intent to continue the existence of the CRA through this date.
The attached resolution approves the continued existence of the CRA and amends the CRA’s Charter to establish September 30, 2046, as the sunset or termination date for the CRA.
