Title
Gainesville Community Reinvestment Area (GCRA) Community Enhancement and Housing Initiatives (B)
Explanation
The Gainesville Community Reinvestment Area (GCRA) transitioned from a statutory CRA and became a City department on October 1, 2019. With this change, the GCRA embarked on a six month community engagement process to consolidate the plans from the four former CRA districts into a one district consolidated 10 Year Reinvestment Plan with new priorities.
The three objectives in the Reinvestment Plan are Economic Development, Community Enhancements and Housing, and Public Space and Streetscape. Within the Community Enhancements and Housing objective there are programs and projects underway that begin to address attainable housing and residential and commercial improvements.
GCRA staff will present an update to the Board on approved projects and programs that are underway and also discuss proposed programs that are being developed; honing in on initiatives that could benefit historic structures and neighborhoods within the District.
