History of the City of Brooksville's Community Redevelopment Agency
The City Council for the City of Brooksville desires to provide for the removal of blighted areas and redevelop such areas pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Act of 1969 and contained in Florida Statutes, Chapters 163 and 189. On June 7, 1999, the City of Brooksville formally established a Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) in its downtown. The CRA is approximately 250 acres in size and includes properties that are front along Main Street, Liberty Street, Broad Street, Jefferson Street, Fort Dade Avenue, and Saxon Avenue. The Brooksville City Council, sitting as the Community Redevelopment Agency, adopted a Community Redevelopment Plan.
