What is Community Redevelopment Agency?

A CRA is a dedicated tool for community investment. When property values rise in the designated CRA district, a portion of the new tax revenue generated is reinvested right back into that same area. This creates a cycle of funding for improvements—from parks to housing to streetscapes—that benefits the entire community.
