Overview

Now that each CRA area’s Capital Improvement Program – enhanced streetscapes, stormwater, water and sewer infrastructure, roadway improvements and the construction of new neighborhoods – is progressing, the Agency would like to introduce an additional strategy to continue the CRA’s successful redevelopment journey.

The attraction of new businesses, retention of current operating businesses, assistance to struggling businesses and encouragement of private investment are important components of a robust and overall redevelopment strategy. These programs may be amended from time to time to address evolving strategies at various stages in the redevelopment process.

Target Areas per CRA:

Only properties in these target areas are eligible to apply:

  • Golden Gate: Properties in the Core, Corridor, Industrial and General Subdistricts
  • Hobe Sound: Properties in the Core, Corridor and Railroad Corridor Subdistricts
  • Jensen Beach: All properties within the Jensen Beach CRA boundaries
  • Old Palm City: All properties within the Old Palm City CRA boundaries
  • Port Salerno: Properties in the Core Subdistrict and General and Corridor Subdistricts that front Salerno Road
  • Rio: Properties in the Core or Corridor Subdistricts that also front NE Dixie

Property Improvement

The CRA Property Improvement Program is designed to encourage visible, exterior improvements to any existing commercial property or buildings and to encourage private investment within the targeted area.

The CRA will provide 80% of the project cost, as a reimbursement, up to a maximum of $20,000 per property to supplement private funds to pay for the design and construction of property improvements.

Fence/Landscape

The CRA Fence/Landscape Program is designed to encourage visible, exterior improvements of fencing and landscaping to any existing commercial property or building to comply with the Land Development Regulations and to encourage private investment within the target area.

The CRA will provide 80% of the project cost, as a reimbursement, up to a maximum of $10,000 per property to supplement private funds to pay for the design and construction of fence and/or landscape enhancement.
