MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. –Dozens of projects in Martin County to improve property values, infrastructure and safety could soon lose their funding.
Martin County Commissioners are considering cutting the Community Redevelopment Agencies from the county budget. CRAs are areas in the county that receive extra funding for projects to help revitalize the area.
The county appoints volunteers in each CRA to serve on a Neighborhood Advisory Committee.
Those volunteers help research and prioritize projects in the CRA that are considered important to residents and business owners.
The CRAs are Old Palm City, Rio, Hobe Sound, Indiantown, Jensen Beach, Port Salerno and Golden Gate.
