Now that the Ocala City Council has approved new Community Redevelopment Areas to remove blight along the city’s gateways, each of the advisory committees for the East Ocala CRA and West Ocala CRA held meetings Tuesday to begin drawing up plans to revitalize those areas.
The two committees, prodded by consultant VHB MillerSellen and city staff, are prioritizing areas along the city’s corridors that need improvement and the projects that could accomplish that. Each committee will develop a plan and present recommendations for capital improvement projects to the City Council in January.
