About the CRA

CRA Projects

Urban redevelopment is a coordinated effort to enhance our community's assets while constantly improving the cityscape.

The CRA has moved forward with a variety of projects; some of which (such as historic rehabilitations, streetscape improvements and façade enhancements) enrich existing elements within a redevelopment area.  Other projects will provide exciting new features such as gateway fixtures, public art, high density residential, mixed use, and commercial developments.
