CRA Area

See detailed map of CRA area on back cover

A Community Redevelopment Agency(CRA) is a taxing district established by localgovernment for the purpose of carrying out re-development activities that include reducing oreliminating blight, increasing the tax base, andencouraging public and private investments inthe redevelopment area. The members of theCity Commission also serve as CRA board mem-bers. All meetings are open to the public andagendas, minutes, and video of meetings areposted on the City’s website.

CRAs are designed to breathe new life intoareas in need of revitalization and economic de-velopment. Successful redevelopment projectsattract private investors that otherwise may haveoverlooked the community. By establishing aCRA, local governments receive planning andfinancial mechanisms to help redevelop areaswhere private market forces are not working.

Map of CRAThe 227-acre CRA comprises the central busi-

ness district along Pinellas Avenue north fromthe Anclote River and south to Meres Blvd, in-cluding Downtown and the Lemon Street corri-dors.

corn, Cliché Piano Bar & Pool Lounge, AncloteConey Island and Meats, Tarpon Art Guild, andSave-a-Lot Grocery Store. New openings in thecoming year include Hello Sunshine Café,Copenhagen Café, Two Frogs Brewing Com-pany, KCQue BBQ, Tuscan Sun Italian Bistro,and Back in the Day Books.

new life into the shopping plaza on S. PinellasAve. In addition to major building renovations,extensive landscaping and parking lot improve-ments were made. The CRA contributedthrough a façade improvement grant.

BrasserieSaint Some-where

This projectbrings a well-established Bel-gian style craftbrewery, tastingroom and inninto two long-vacant Down-town buildings.The brewery ishoused in a former City-owned Public Worksbuilding, and the tasting room/inn in an adjacenttwo-story, historic home on Tarpon Avenue.Both structures underwent complete renova-tions. The redevelopment was made possiblethrough façade and restaurant grants, develop-ment fee credits, and a historic preservation taxabatement.

KCQue BBQA decades-long vacant Queen Ann style

house is undergoing total renovations for a newrestaurant on Tarpon Avenue next to BrasserieSaint Somewhere. In addition to extensive inte-rior renovations, the owners are adding an out-building for a smoker, and an enlargedwrap-around porch for outdoor seating.
