The Apopka Community Redevelopment Agency’s (CRA) annual report shows continued investment in infrastructure and neighborhood improvements in 2025, while some vacant storefronts and limited participation in business assistance programs remain in parts of the district.
According to the report, which is now available on the city’s website, the agency spent more than $1.7 million during the reporting period on projects including the Downtown Apopka Trail, park improvements and public safety initiatives. The agency’s fiscal year (FY) 2026 adopted budget totals about $6.3 million, including more than $4.7 million carried forward from prior years for redevelopment projects.
In an email, Economic Development Director Antranette Forbes said decisions on when to deploy those funds are guided by the CRA’s redevelopment plan, board-approved work programs and the readiness of specific projects.
