CRA CFM

The Fort Myers Community Redevelopment Agency was created in 1984 by the City of Fort Myers, FL, under Florida Statute Chapter 163, to formulate a plan and strategy for the revitalization of the Downtown River District. The Fort Myers CRA has continued to grow, and redevelopment areas have been added throughout the city.
Today, the agency oversees 12 redevelopment areas within the Fort Myers City limits. The Fort Myers CRA along with the city's Community Development Division, prepare plans for the revitalization of each area and coordinate the implementation of the plan's recommendations.
Tax Increment Funds (TIF) generate by each area, combined with other funding sources are used to upgrade the public infrastructure and to stimulate redevelopment in the area it is generated from.
