What is a Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA)?

A Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is an area targeted for redevelopment and/or revitalization. CRAs are authorized by Florida Statute (Chapter 163, Part III) but created at the local level by cities and counties the purpose of carrying out redevelopment activities that include revitalizing dilapidated buildings and neighborhoods, improving public infrastructure and amenities, and enhancing the quality of life for residents within the CRA boundaries. The City of Miami is home to three CRA districts. They are Southeast Overtown/Park West (created in 1982), Omni (created in 1986), and Midtown (created in 2003). The intended result when designating CRAs is the creation of vibrant communities.
