COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREAS (CRAS) In accordance with the Redevelopment Act of the Florida State Statutes, Charlotte County government has established Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRAs) in areas where "slum" and "blight" exist. The goal of these CRAs is to encourage local initiative to revitalize older downtowns and declining neighborhoods.
Parkside CRA was established by the BCC by Resolution 2010-082 on September 21, 2010. Several public meetings were conducted with more than 100 Parkside residents in attendance at each meeting. As a result of those meetings, the Citizens' Master Plan was written and adopted on August 16, 2011. This Master Plan records the vision of the residents, prescribes actions that will be taken to revitalize the area, and provides guidance for plan initiatives.
Murdock Village CRA was established by Resolution 2003-081 by the BCC on May 27, 2003. Murdock Village is envisioned to be a mixed use, integrated development which provides for the needs of current and future populations through creating a destination that provides Charlotte County with a mix of attractions, housing and employment.
Charlotte Harbor CRA was established by the Charlotte County Board of County Commissioners by Resolution 92-251 on November 3rd, 1992 by way of Florida Statute 163.356. Since then, a linear park along the shore of Charlotte Harbor on Bayshore Drive has been completed and a new bridge has been built on Melbourne Street with decorative lighting in place. Central sewer and water lines have been installed setting the stage for opportunities for private investment. Specific architectural standards continue to enhance the historic character of the area and encourage pedestrian-friendly development.
