The Cocoa Beach City Commission and Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) meeting held on April 4, 2025, focused on several key development proposals and community initiatives. The meeting began with a presentation from Matthew Beasley, who introduced himself and his company, highlighting their extensive experience in underground utilities and site work across Florida. Beasley emphasized the importance of sustainable development practices and expressed enthusiasm for collaborating with Jesse Wright on a significant redevelopment project in Titusville, which aims to enhance the city’s tax revenue.

Jesse Wright followed Beasley, presenting a mixed-use development plan that includes a hotel, assisted living facility, apartment complex, and restaurants. He provided a visual overview of three proposed plans for a 15-acre site, noting that the project is currently unsolicited and requires further discussions with neighboring property owners. Wright specifically highlighted Plan B as the most viable option and requested the city’s support to advance the project.

Wright also referenced a successful $400 million development project in Winter Park, showcasing his team's capability and experience in managing large-scale developments. He requested a formal agenda slot to discuss the project in greater detail, indicating a proactive approach to engaging with the city and community stakeholders.

The meeting underscored the city’s ongoing efforts to explore new development opportunities while ensuring sustainable practices are prioritized. The commission's next steps will involve reviewing the proposals and determining the feasibility of advancing discussions with the developers.
