Bradenton Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Meeting, June 10, 2026

The Bradenton Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) held a meeting on June 10, 2026, focusing on several redevelopment and economic incentive topics. A key procurement-related discussion involved motions to approve CRA payment of up to 70% of impact fees for two projects, MET 2B and MET 3, with the city covering the remaining 30% for MET 3. These motions passed unanimously, authorizing the CRA to incorporate these incentives into agreements with developers. The meeting also addressed the need for a workshop with the city and the Economic Development Council (EDC) to establish a formal policy on impact fees and developer incentives. Additionally, updates were provided on capital improvement projects including lighting and tree replacement in partnership with Parks and Recreation and Public Works, with plans for ongoing maintenance by a private company. The meeting touched on potential impacts of a forthcoming constitutional amendment on CRA spending and redevelopment activities. New board members were introduced to support ongoing redevelopment efforts.
