Attest:
increased tax revenue will go to the trust fund and used solely for the items
identified in the plan. The administrative fee will be used for the City's CRA
staff, who will be executing and administering the programs identified in the
plan. The plan will be in effect for 20 years. ARPA funds must be expended
by December 31, 2026. Planning and Development Assistant Director
Lauren Matzke said the proposed redesign of Ft. Harrison Avenue located
south of the N. Greenwood Plan area will interface with the plan. Ms. Lopko
said, as part of the mobility goals, improving the utilization of the Pinellas
Trail with placemaking and commercial property optimization is being
considered. The poverty reduction goal will support existing workforce
development, mentoring, and apprenticeship programs, as well as bringing
more opportunities into the area. She said the Community Redevelopment
Agency will be leading the efforts. The timeline for the first five years of the
Plan have been outlined.
Discussion ensued with comments made that the plan is very ambitious,
detailed, and unique. It was stated that staff has incorporated many of the
suggestions and ideas provided by the community and that it takes people
like the North Greenwood community leaders to make this happen.
Attorney Daigneault said the matter before the Board is a legislative matter

One individual spoke in support.
