Redevelopment of Big John's Plaza Parking Lot

A Community Redevelopment Agency is a dependent special district established pursuant to State law by the local government. CRA districts encourage public and private investments to encourage economic growth and improve the quality of life in the redevelopment area. The mission of the Cape Coral CRA is to enhance the South Cape and create a vibrant urban village. The CRA Board of Commissioners directs CRA policy and programs. Every great community has a heart that makes a place genuine and defines the character of the community. For Cape Coral, that place is the South Cape. It is the historic beginning of Cape Coral, where small planes took off to show prospective buyers vacant land in the early sixties, and where the first shops, restaurants, and even the first City Hall was built. Today, more than 60 restaurants, all-star chefs and cuisine, and 250,000+ annual visitors define the South Cape Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA).
