Beach Community Redevelopment Area
About Us
 The Fort Lauderdale Beach Community Redevelopment Area (Beach CRA) was designated by City Commission Resolution 89-88 and 89-89, adopted on April 18, 1989. It covers approximately 121 areas of Fort Lauderdale’s Central Beach. A Community Redevelopment Plan was adopted in 1989 which outlined the community’s desire for public and private improvements along with a funding program, including the use of tax-increment funds.
The Fort Lauderdale City Commission serves as the Community Redevelopment Agency Board of Directors. The Beach Redevelopment Advisory Board also serves the area to promote redevelopment activities and implement the Beach Redevelopment Plan goals and objectives
 The Central Beach Area is the City of Fort Lauderdale’s economic engine, and it has enjoyed substantial redevelopment since the creation of the Beach CRA. Several capital improvements began to redefine the Central Beach Area in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including the realignment of State Road A1A, the relocation of beach on-street parking to medians on adjacent streets, and construction of the award-winning beach wave wall and promenade. These initiatives helped improve the image and aesthetics of the Central Beach Area and spur substantial private investment, thus repositioning Fort Lauderdale as a family-oriented world-class destination for residents and visitors. Current initiatives are underway that will further enhance the Fort Lauderdale Central Beach Area and build upon it’s reputation as a world-class destination.
