[534 Oak Avenue, 541 Oak Avenue, and an unaddressed parcel on Oak Avenue] The Panama City Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Board considered and approved the application submitted by Golden Developments, LLC, for the Panama City Tax Increment Rebate Program. The application pertains to properties located at 534 Oak Avenue, 541 Oak Avenue, and an unaddressed parcel on Oak Avenue. The Board authorized the CRA Executive Director to execute a performance agreement. The meeting also addressed the Redevelopment Site Preparation Grant Program and the Amended Commercial Property Improvement (CPI) Grant Program for the Millville CRA District. The Panama City Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Board approved the Redevelopment Site Preparation Grant Program, including its guidelines, application, grant agreement, and repayment agreement. Key decisions made during the May 5, 2026 meeting included rewording eligibility for purchase agreements, allowing permit fees as eligible activities, capping awards at 20% of the project budget with a maximum of $100,000 (with exceptions for board consideration), approving a 0% repayable loan option for non-profits doing affordable housing, and establishing that the board will determine funding awards per application for FY2026 and future years. Minimum project budget thresholds were set at $500,000 for commercial projects and $150,000 for residential projects. Demolition and site preparation work must commence within six months, followed by vertical construction within six months, with failure to comply potentially leading to repayment over 24 months. The program is designed to assist with demolition, debris removal, site preparation, and other eligible activities necessary to prepare properties for new development or substantial reinvestment within the Downtown, Downtown North, Millville, and St. Andrews CRA Districts. Eligible applicants include for-profit property owners, developers/purchasers with purchase agreements, and non-profit organizations. All eligible work must be performed by licensed contractors, with a minimum of three competitive written quotes required for work exceeding $3,499. [Millville CRA District] The Panama City Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Board approved the amended Commercial Property Improvement (CPI) Grant Program Guidelines for the Millville CRA District for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The amendment expands eligibility to all eligible commercial properties within the Millville CRA District boundaries, moving away from the previous focus solely on the U.S. 98/E. 5th Street corridor. The program will continue to offer up to ten grants of up to $15,000 each, for a total program allocation of $150,000. Eligible work includes exterior painting, repairs, façade enhancements, windows, doors, signage, awnings, lighting, landscaping, parking lot/sidewalk upgrades, murals, and other visible exterior improvements. The program aims to encourage exterior improvements to commercial buildings to enhance appearance, support property maintenance, reduce blight, and strengthen reinvestment. Grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to funding availability. All contractors must be licensed in Bay County. [724 & 728 Magnolia Avenue] The Panama City Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Board approved an amendment to the performance agreement between the CRA and Wilson Avenue Redevelopment, LLC, for a TIF Rebate Incentive on the development of 724 & 728 Magnolia Avenue.

a. Chairman Allan Branch moved to approve, and Board member Robbie

The Panama City Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is proposing a new Redevelopment Site Preparation Grant Program. This program aims to help move redevelopment projects forward by providing financial aid for demolition, debris removal, site clearing, grading, and environmental assessments. The program is planned for eligible property owners and developers within the Downtown, Downtown North, Millville, and St. Andrews CRA Districts. The program is currently under review and, if approved, will be ready for immediate implementation. This initiative will likely involve site clearing and grading, demolition, debris hauling, and potentially environmental remediation. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, demolition, environmental services, and general construction could find opportunities. Reaching out early to understand the program guidelines and application process before formal bids are established offers a competitive advantage.
