1. Program Creation & Purpose

Community Redevelopment Board · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

The Community Redevelopment Board of the City of Panama City is considering the creation of a Demolition & Site Preparation Grant Program. This program aims to eliminate blight and incentivize redevelopment, with a specific focus on supporting affordable housing initiatives. The program is currently planned and under review by the board. If approved, the program would likely involve site clearing and grading services for properties targeted for demolition and redevelopment. This could also lead to work in underground utility connections and potentially new construction phases as redevelopment occurs. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this program's progress. Early engagement before final program details, funding allocations, and specific project selections are made could provide a competitive advantage for securing future work.
