The CRA is a dependent taxing district set
up by the City (called the "governing body") for the purpose of
eliminating slum and blight, enhancing the tax base and encouraging both
public and private improvements in the CRA Area. The CRA is governed by
State Statutes, Chapter 163, Part III. The CRA’s source of revenue,
which it can use to make public improvements, is derived from tax
increment. CRA’s have been used by many cities in Florida to revitalize
urban areas. Other
city examples include Ft. Lauderdale (beach), Hollywood (beach), Delray
Beach and Sarasota.
An important part of creating a CRA is
the preparation and adoption of a CRA Master Redevelopment Plan, which
sets forth the programs for improvement for the redevelopment area.
