A Connected, Historic, and Growing District

The Bartow Community Redevelopment Agency supports more than economic revitalization — we support the people, places, and partnerships that define our community.

From historic landmarks and public art to parks, recreation, and local partners, the CRA district is a place to live, work, and gather.


Community Partners

Strong redevelopment is built on strong partnerships.

The Bartow CRA collaborates with local organizations, nonprofits, businesses, and civic groups to strengthen the redevelopment district and enhance quality of life.
