The City of Alachua Community Redevelopment Agency
ABOUT
The purpose of the Community Redevelopment Area is to rehabilitate, conserve, and redevelop areas within its geographical boundaries as shown on the Community Redevelopment District Map in accordance with a Community Redevelopment Plan.
The Community Redevelopment Agency was established in 1982 upon a finding by the Alachua City Commission of slum and blight within a designated area. The City Commission serves as the Community Redevelopment Agency and governing board. The Agency receives recommendations from an appointed five member advisory board.
PLANS
The City of Alachua CRA has developed planning documents to serve as a blueprint for redevelopment and reinvestment within the Community Redevelopment Area. In 2013 the Agency updated their primary planning document, and in 2016 passed a CRA Market Study and Economic Development Implementation Plan.
