Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Master Plan Update

The City of Apopka is seeking qualified consulting firms, with a minimum of fifteen (15) years experience, to assist its Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) with the update of its CRA Master Redevelopment Plan. The purpose of this effort is to create a forward-looking, implementable strategy that reflects current market conditions, redevelopment opportunities, infrastructure needs, community priorities, and evolving economic trends within the CRA district. The updated plan will serve as a guiding framework for future public and private investment, redevelopment initiatives, capital improvements, and policy direction (see attachments A, B, and C). The CRA is particularly interested in innovative and multidisciplinary firms with experience in redevelopment planning, economic development, urban design, market analysis, placemaking, and community engagement. The selected consultant will be expected to evaluate existing conditions, identify catalytic redevelopment opportunities, develop actionable implementation strategies, and help establish a cohesive vision that strengthens district identity, encourages investment, and enhances quality of life for residents and businesses alike. This project presents an opportunity to help shape the future of one of Central Florida’s growing communities through strategic redevelopment planning that balances economic growth, neighborhood revitalization, mobility, housing, infrastructure, and long-term sustainability. The CRA welcomes creative approaches and visionary ideas that can support transformative yet achievable outcomes for the district and community.
