The City of Pensacola will host its final public meeting and open house to update its three community redevelopment plans at 6 p.m. tonight, Feb. 6, at the Pensacola Library at 239 N. Spring St. The plans are meant to outline future community improvements and be used as the basis for obtaining funding for specific CRA projects.
The CRA and its consulting team, led by Urban Design Associates, will present the designs and recommendations for opportunity sites, open spaces and rights of way within the CRA districts. The presentation will be followed by an open house, where participants can walk around to stations set up for each district, view the recommendations, and ask questions of the team members. Light refreshments will be served, and children are welcome and encouraged to participate.
Attendees will have a final opportunity to be entered into the drawing for the 55″ television giveaway. The drawing will be Feb. 10, and the winner will be contacted by CRA staff.
The community redevelopment plans for the Eastside, Westside, and Urban Core CRA Districts were completed in 2004, 2007, and 2010. The boundaries for each district can be viewed on the city’s website.
