Title
GCRA Proposed FY22-23 Budget (B)
Explanation
On March 5, 2020 the City Commission approved the Gainesville Community Reinvestment Area (GCRA) 10 Year Reinvestment Plan. Within the Plan is a 10 Year Roadmap, which included projects and programs identified as priorities for the life of the department.
The City’s strategic planning process began on May 7, 2020 and through a series of workshops was approved on August 6, 2020. Overall, neighbor input and City Commission direction developed how GCRA initiatives are prioritized in the City’s Action Agenda.
With the GCRA being a City Department the City’s priorities were factored into budgetary considerations for its projects and programs. Eight major GCRA initiatives are being managed outside the department either by the Office of Capital Asset Planning and Economic Resilience (CAPER), Office of Strategic Initiatives, Office of the City Manager, or Department of Transportation and Mobility as outlined in the City’s Strategic Plan and Action Agenda.
At its March 16, 2021 Advisory Board meeting the GCRA Director gave an update on all the Reinvestment Roadmap initiatives and the Director of Economic Development and Innovation for the Office of CAPER, gave an update on projects lead by their department.
In today’s meeting GCRA staff will present the proposed FY22-23 budget, including another update on the Reinvestment Roadmap initiatives and give an overview of how the GCRA budget fits into the City’s overall budget process.
