• Co -working space; and
• Professional offices (financial services, IT/software, medical, etc.).
This Program is to help Downtown Clearwater thrive as the urban core and heart of the City, as
the center of business and government, and as an attractive place to live, work, shop and play.
(Ch. 3, Vision, pg. 44)
In addition, it is the intent of this Program to incentivize improvements to the area that go
beyond what is required by the City's development codes to enhance the form, function, and
design quality of the redevelopment area. It is not the intent of the CRA to engage in any
rehabilitation activity that requires vacating property or displacing any business establishments
or residents from property. Moreover, it is not the intent of this Program to assist in the
development of new construction projects on vacant land. Rather, it is to rehabilitate and
enhance area commercial structures exhibiting deterioration and decline.
