CRA Downtown Districts

CRAs are created to assist local municipalities in pursuing redevelopment in targeted areas that are characterized by blight and disinvestment. By establishing a CRA, local governments are given a financial and planning mechanism by which to redevelop areas where private market forces aren’t working. The City Commission is the official Community Redevelopment Agency for the City of West Palm Beach.
