South Daytona CRA and New Smyrna Beach Commercial Corridor Streetscapes and Undergrounding of Utilities
Separate registration of $40 per person and pre-registration is required. The bus will begin loading at 7:45 a.m.
We will showcase some ambitious and successful CRA funded projects: A main commercial corridor re-envisioned with the undergrounding of utilities and extensive landscaping; and two declining historic commercial areas with numerous underutilized and vacant properties now completely revitalized through a menu of CRA programs. The project managers will be on hand to share the total picture, from concept to program development, complete with false starts and challenges. South Daytona officials will share how they used CRA, federal and state grants to make upgrades and improvements otherwise not possible. New Smyrna Beach’s numerous projects will be explained in detail, from the project RFPs, to large and small grants, to partnerships for neighborhood revitalization. We will also give you digital access to “before and after” on this tour, so don’t forget to have a device on hand with internet access!
