The Cocoa Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) held a regular meeting on May 4, 2026, at 65 Stone Street, Cocoa, FL 32922. The primary action item was to approve the Fiscal Year 2027 Budget Priorities. The proposed FY2027 budget is approximately $4,510,411, an increase from the FY2026 budget of $3,221,254. Key proposed capital expenses for FY2027 include $4,000,000 for Waterfront Projects (TDock and Oleander West Parking). Historic Cocoa Village Main Street submitted a proposal requesting $225,000 for infrastructure improvements in Cocoa Village, including park benches, landscaping, pole banners, street lighting, wayfinding signage, streetscape furnishings, and sidewalk repairs. The meeting also included approval of the agenda for May 4, 2026, and minutes from the April 6, 2026 meeting. The April 6, 2026 meeting included approval of a resolution to amend the FY26 budget by $338 for insurance overages, approval of a budget modification of $5,349 for debt service related to a Post Office payment, and a 60-day extension for 360 Development Group for hotel deliverables needed for a Development Agreement. Public comment included a discussion by Brad Whitmore regarding a dinghy dock on the waterfront and repairs to T docks, which staff noted was a separate project from the Day Slips project and would require grant maker permission for changes. The next meeting is scheduled for June 1, 2026.
