The Chairman explained that the Board had previously prioritized capital improvement projects
listed on the CRA Action Plan and that Staff is forwarding the ranking of the projects for

construct improvement in the Beal Parkway Neighborhood; the Eglin Parkway streetscape; and
streetscape improvements on Chestnut Avenue; provide public infrastructure in the CRA area;
develop an attainable housing strategy for the CRA area; Miracle Strip Parkway streetscape;
Landmark parking garage; architectural regulations /guidelines; and the multi -use trail for Coral
Creek ( delayed).
The Chairman reiterated these projects are part of the action plan that the Board prioritized to
explore and research to pursue, and are not included in the CRA's budget.

installation of LED street name lights; 2) continue to design and construct improvement
in the Beal Parkway Neighborhood; 3) the Eglin Parkway streetscape; 4) streetscape
improvements on Chestnut Avenue; 5) provide public infrastructure in the CRA area; 6)
develop an attainable housing strategy for the CRA area; 7) Miracle Strip Parkway
streetscape; 8) Landmark parking garage; and 9) architectural regulations /guidelines.
Ms. Klement seconded motion.
The Chairman asked for public input.
Nitsi Bennett, CEO of Habitat for Humanity, advised that Habitat desires to purchase additional
prime property on Methodist and expressed her concern that it will be sold by the heirs by the
time the budget takes place in October, and asked the Board to consider possibly finding a way
to purchase the property before October for Habitat.
The Chairman called for the vote on the motion and it carried by a vote of 6 to 1 with
Covey, Gossom, Kennedy, Klement, Legg, and Reed in favor and Tona opposed.
The Board requested that Ms. Bennett's request be placed on the June CRA agenda.
