Mission
Mission
The CRA mandate is governed by Florida Statutes, Chapter 163, Part III. The CRA goal is to revitalize specifically designated areas within our city through good planning and the implementation of sound infrastructure improvements, thus enabling us to generate successful redevelopment projects, from both the private and public sector, thereby achieving the complete eradication of slums and blight from the targeted areas. We are totally committed to the preservation and enhancement of property values, stimulating the creation of new job opportunities for residents, and improving the quality of life of those who reside within the redevelopment neighborhoods.
Vision
The CRA’s longstanding vision is to improve the quality of life for residents and stakeholders of the Overtown, Park West and Omni community redevelopment areas. The CRAs’ vision is to generate successful redevelopment projects, from both the private and public sector such as mixed-use construction developments and infrastructure improvements. Ultimately, the CRA envisions a neighborhood that is filled with small urban parks, residential complexes, greenways, sidewalk merchants and pedestrian-friendly streets that promote walking within the neighborhood. This vision can be realized through the elimination of unsanitary, economic, and physical conditions that contribute to slum and blight.
