1. What is Tax Increment Financing?

Tax increment financing provides most of the funding for the CRA. This special funding tool provides all increases in taxes within the CRA beyond the year the CRA was established into a redevelopment fund. The year the CRA was established is the "base year." Any increase in taxes beyond the base year are provided to the redevelopment fund. Therefore, as the property taxes increase due to redevelopment projects, the redevelopment fund also increases. Tax increment financing is not an additional tax to the property owner.

2. What else does the CRA entail?

The CRA has design standards for new development and rehabilitation. These guidelines regulate façade treatments, infrastructure, landscaping, and site design. All building improvements and site plans must be reviewed by the Community Development Department and all projects three acres or greater in property area must be approved by the City Commission.  Opens in New Window

1. What is a trail?

A trail is a paved path that is used for transportation and recreation by pedestrians, bicyclists, inline skaters, and any other non-motorized users. It reconnects communities fragmented by intensely urban development, and provides a safe, alternative way to travel between schools, churches, business districts, public services, parks, and government centers. Access to parks and linkage of existing open space increases recreation opportunities for communities in the corridors and connects the communities to a regional trail system. Every effort is made to create an accessible trail, in accordance with national transportation standards.

2. Will a trail near my home increase crime?

National studies have shown that recreational trails do not increase neighborhood crime. In fact, the residents along a trail tend to feel a sense of pride and ownership in their trail and monitor activities along its path. As the appropriate use of the trail by pedestrians and bicyclists increases, inappropriate behavior declines.

3. Will a trail affect my home value?

National studies have shown that homes near a recreational trail may see an increase in property values. In a survey of recent home buyers sponsored by the National Association of Realtors and the National Association of Home Builders, trails ranked as the second most important community amenity out of a list of 18 choices. These trails also have the potential to create jobs, expand local businesses, attract new or relocating businesses, increase local tax revenues, decrease local government expenditures, and promote a local community.

4. How will a trail affect the environment?

The City prides itself on its measures of environmental protection. In the construction of a trail, the City meets the regulations regarding tree replacements and in environmentally sensitive areas, boardwalk sections are often used. These trails or "greenway corridors" (linear open spaces connecting recreational, cultural and natural areas) are traditionally recognized for their environmental protection.

5. Are pets permitted on a trail?
