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.
