Community Redevelopment Agency
The Pensacola Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) was created by the City Council in 1980 to revitalize designated areas of Pensacola.
The role of the CRA is to implement the City’s redevelopment plans utilizing Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) revenues to undertake and complete redevelopment projects authorized by Chapter 163, Part III, Florida Statutes (the “Community Redevelopment Act”). This funding mechanism allows the City to reinvest rising property tax revenue back into the same district, supporting local projects without raising taxes or pulling funds from other areas. The City has three designated TIF districts, Urban Core, Westside, and Eastside, each with their own adopted redevelopment plan and TIF trust fund.
The CRA will continue this work through 2046, focusing on historic areas like the waterfront and nearby neighborhoods.
Key redevelopment goals include:
- Preserving, rehabilitating and enhancing the community redevelopment area neighborhoods to maximize livability and quality of life;
- Fostering a diverse supply of housing options, especially affordable and workforce housing; and
- Creating a robust and stable economy that offers employment, culture and entertainment and is filled with people and businesses.
