SUMMARY:

                                          

The following revitalization projects are recommended for approval for funding and implementation in the Urban Core, Eastside, and Westside CRA districts during fiscal years 2017 and 2018.  Projects are proposed to be funded from available current year TIF, program income and/or financing.  Proposed revisions to Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes, governing Community Redevelopment Agencies, would restrict the ability of CRA’s to undertake or fund any projects which have not been previously approved or for which debt service repayment has not been committed prior to a specified date in 2017.
