We had a meeting with the lot owners last Wednesday. We are all getting on the same page.

All the property owners met with me last Thursday. The property owners might want to sell so we could consolidate to the corner.

The condominium owners, all of them, each and every individual, would have to agree to a sale.

It would be a property tax rebate program.

If we got grants from the Florida Communities Trust we could expand the park.

Right now we have a facade program that helps with $10,000 for smaller projects. The big projects can take advantage of the tax increment funding but we have nothing for those in between.

The codes give pictures with examples. The look doesn't have to be Mediterranean, but it should fit in with the general look of the area.

Blight does not mean boarded-up store fronts or dirty streets. It can mean the infrastructure (sewers and roads) might not be up to par.

It is a wonderful job the committee volunteers have done getting the downtown refurbished after the hurricanes.
