Background Information:
The North Greenwood Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) was proposed by the Clearwater Urban Leadership Coalition in 2019, which led to the completion of a Finding of Necessity Study by the city of Clearwater, establishing the area's boundaries, and the creation of the North Greenwood Community Redevelopment Area Plan. This plan addresses the unique needs of the neighborhood. This plan is a guiding tool for strategies and policies implemented in the CRA. The plan includes overall goals and identifies types of projects planned for the area. All expenditures of tax increment funds must be tied to the plan's implementation.
The committee shall consist of five members, with three members appointed by the City of Clearwater City Council and the remaining two members appointed by the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners. Members of this board are required to be homesteaded residents or owners of businesses or non-profit agencies within the boundaries of the North Greenwood CRA. In addition, one member of the committee shall represent a CRA Trustees approved Ex Officio Organization.
