Title
CRA Awards Update (NB)
Explanation
The CRA received a State award from the Florida American Public Works Association (APWA) for the design/construction of SW 9th Street at Innovation Square.
Also, the historic Firestone building, which received façade grant support from the CRA, was awarded an Honorable Mention for Adaptive Reuse by the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation (FTHP). This marks the fifth consecutive year in which a Gainesville project has been honored by the FTHP.
Past awardees include the old Gainesville Depot (2013) and Bethel Station (2012).
At this month's CRA Board meeting, CRA staff will review the award received for projects recently constructed in our redevelopment areas and discuss the state and regional recognition that Gainesville is receiving.
