LAKE CITY COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY

Community Redevelopment

Origins

The City of Lake City established the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) in 1981 to create an area in which the Central Business District would evolve into a more dynamic office, service, financial, entertainment, residential and governmental area. The authority to establish the CRA is enabled by Sections 163, Part III Florida Statues. The CRA was revised in 1989 and again in 1993.

Projects and Funding

CRA projects must have a public purpose with the intent to alleviate urban blight in the district. Examples of projects could be streetscapes, new buildings, parking lots/garages, neighborhood parks, planned low and moderate income housing developments, sidewalks and street landscaping. “Tax Increment Financing” (TIF) provides funding for projects in the CRA.
