V. INELIGIBLE EXPENSES

Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting · 2026-04-15 · agenda_item

The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) of the City of Apopka is reviewing guidelines for its Building Code Assistance Program. This program provides incentive funds to support the goals of the adopted redevelopment plan. The CRA has outlined specific uses and expenses that are ineligible for funding, such as work started before grant approval, routine maintenance, off-site signs, and permit fees. Interior renovations like plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work are also listed as ineligible if not directly related to code compliance. The CRA will review proposed uses on a case-by-case basis to ensure they align with the redevelopment plan and economic development objectives. While this is a review of program guidelines and not a specific project, it signals potential future opportunities for contractors and suppliers whose work aligns with the CRA's redevelopment goals. Businesses involved in site preparation, structural improvements related to code compliance, and façade work may find opportunities as the CRA encourages development consistent with its vision. Early engagement with the CRA could provide clarity on eligible projects and funding requirements.
