Florida Redevelopment Association
http://www.redevelopment.net

The FRA was founded in 1974 to promote redevelopment and growth of downtowns. The focus was later broadened to encompass Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRAs) and the Main Street Program cities. Today, FRA also includes non-profit organizations, consultants, private developers and cities that do not have Downtown Development Authorities, CRAs or Main Street programs. The organization’s goal is a comprehensive association of all players in Florida's urban revitalization network.

FRA is an independent association separate and apart from all other bodies, public and private. It is governed by a Board of Directors, elected by the membership and is staffed through an annual contractual agreement with the Florida League of Cities, Inc. FRA's mission is to provide a forum for members to share knowledge and common experiences regarding redevelopment opportunities and problems; encourage adoption of legal and financial tools and programs favorable to community redevelopment; and serve as a statewide clearinghouse for redevelopment information.
