Economic Development Advisory Board Regular Meeting - Canceled · 2026-05-12 · agenda_item

The City of Winter Park Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is offering the Catalyst Development Program (CDP) to encourage large-scale, mixed-use redevelopment projects within the CRA District III corridor. This program aims to catalyze transformational projects, leverage CRA resources, and promote high-quality development that integrates residential, commercial, office, and civic uses. Projects must be at least 1 acre in size and have a minimum total development cost of $2.5 million. The program is currently under review, with applications accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Approved projects may receive incentives up to $500,000, which can cover on-site improvements, streetscape enhancements, and utility relocation. This could involve site clearing, grading, underground utility work for sewer conversion, paving, and potentially vertical construction depending on the specific project. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early with potential applicants to understand project needs before bids and permits are finalized, as competitive bids are required for all proposed work.
