Community Redevelopment Agency
Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) districts continue to drive targeted reinvestment, supporting projects such as the Riverfront Esplanade, downtown housing initiatives, economic development in Midtown and Main Street revitalization.
The CRA is responsible for approving the annual CRA budget, funding redevelopment projects and programs and overseeing the implementation of the five adopted Redevelopment Plans.
Featured Accomplishments
What began as a community vision rooted in memory has become a reality. Re-imagined through the leadership and generosity of J. Hyatt and Cici Brown—alongside strong support from the city and its residents—the transformation was celebrated through a series of opening events that marked the official debut of the Esplanade’s southern section. Stretching from Main Street to Orange Avenue, the 22.5-acre linear park offers a wide variety of amenities and experiences. Visitors can relax in nature, enjoy riverfront views, or get active on the soft, blue-cushioned trail that runs the length of the park along the Halifax River. Construction of 400 Class-A residential units will increase population density and economic activity in the Downtown CRA. Located on the Halifax River in the heart of downtown Daytona Beach, residents will enjoy sweeping water views and walkability to shops and restaurants—all only a short walk or bike ride to our world-famous beach. This 8-story development has been designed to maximize views and provide abundant light to every unit. 400 Beach is currently under construction.
