Save Our CRAs 3 Easy Steps to Make Your Voice Heard A bill that negatively impacts our city is moving fast in the Florida Legislature. HB 991/SB 1242 would eliminate all Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRAs) by 2045 and prohibit new projects or new CRAs starting in 2025. That means the programs that bring affordable housing, small businesses sup- port, and neighborhood revitalization without raising taxes would be gone.
