The Florida Redevelopment Association brings together professionals from around the state who are involved in preserving and improvingFlorida’s communities. Founded in 1974 to promote redevelopment and growth of downtowns, the original base was Businesses and Downtown Development Authorities. The focus was later broadened to encompass Community Redevelopment Agencies and Main Street Programs.

Today, the FRA also includes consultants, vendors, non-profit organizations, developers and other redevelopment entities. Our goal is to be

a comprehensive association for all players in Florida’s urban revitalization network.
