Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRAs)

Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRAs) are government-established organizations dedicated to revitalizing specific areas within a city or county. They focus on improving neighborhoods through projects like renovating buildings, developing parks, and attracting businesses. Funded mainly through property taxes, CRAs aim to boost economic growth, enhance public spaces, and increase property values. They often work alongside local governments and communities to target areas needing redevelopment, helping to create safer, more attractive, and economically vibrant neighborhoods.
