Community Redevelopment Agency

On November 15, 1989, the City of Punta Gorda formed a Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) under the State of Florida legislation originally passed in 1969. The main tool or power given to a CRA is the ability to receive and use Tax Increment Revenues. These revenues are deposited into a redevelopment account that can only be used for permitted activities within the geographical boundaries of the CRA area. Permitted activities include, but are not limited to, financing or refinancing development/redevelopment, acquisition of property, development of affordable housing, comprehensive planning, and infrastructure improvements associated with redevelopment.
