Cape Coral City Council takes step to serve as the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency

Cape Coral City Council took its first step toward a takeover of the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency, which is made up of a board of appointed residents. It voted 5-3 on Oct. 18 to terminate all existing CRA board members Nov. 30, and an ordinance will be introduced in a couple of weeks to allow Council to absorb the duties of the CRA. 

A CRA is created to assist in pursuing redevelopment in target areas that are characterized by blight and disinvestment. Cape Coral’s CRA meets every other month and was established to enhance the South Cape and create a vibrant urban village.
