The Panama City Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is considering a Redevelopment Site Preparation Grant Program. This program aims to support projects involving demolition and site preparation for new construction or rehabilitation. The CRA is seeking input on minimum project thresholds, including a potential $500,000 investment or an employment target of at least one full-time equivalent job at or above the Panama City per capita income of $38,881. The program requires eligible work to be performed by licensed contractors, with at least three competitive quotes needed for work over $3,499. Approved projects will require a grant agreement before work begins, with demolition and site prep to be completed within twelve months and construction within twenty-four months of the agreement date. This initiative could lead to work in site clearing, grading, debris hauling, environmental assessment, and related construction trades. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the program's requirements and potential opportunities before final plans and permits are established.
