CRA
Boundaries
In 2001, the City designated the Original CRA along U. S. 1 in eastern Port St. Lucie and formally adopted a community redevelopment plan on June 11, 2001 following an extensive community-driven planning process which included design charrettes and workshops. The redevelopment strategy is to create a central business district or commercial town center along U. S. 1 and a series of mixed-use pedestrian and transit friendly districts.
As stated in the vision statement, the Original CRA was intended to be a central gathering place that creates an identity for Port St. Lucie, as well as provides entertainment and economic opportunities. It will include a variety of development districts and connective open space to better serve current and future residents.
Since the Original CRA’ s creation in 2001, three additional areas have been formally designated as part of the CRA: Lentz Grove( now known as East Lake Village) in 2003; Port St. Lucie Boulevard / The Port District( CRA Expansion Area) in 2006; and Southern Grove in 2012. The boundary lines for the CRAs are depicted in Figure 1.
