CRA approves FY2025 annual report after planner details grants, infrastructure and environmental projects
Summary
The City of Titusville CRA unanimously approved its FY2025 annual report after CRA planner Sue Williams summarized grants and reimbursements, infrastructure work including Broad Street design and pipe enlargements, and environmental projects she said remove stormwater pollutants.
The City of Titusville Community Redevelopment Agency unanimously approved its fiscal year 2025 annual report at its March 10, 2026 meeting after a presentation from CRA planner Sue Williams.
Williams told the board the CRA began in 1982 and that assessed values have risen incrementally; she said the CRA currently has "a little over $1,000,000 in TIF funds," with the county payment for the last fiscal year expected before April. She said the CRA awarded three grants last year totaling $80,000 and reimbursed 13 grants at $241,000, which she described as the largest reimbursement payout since she began in the role.
“We do a lot with grants and partnerships,” Williams said, describing leveraged public‑works funding and collaborations with historic‑preservation partners.
Williams highlighted several infrastructure and environmental accomplishments. She said River Forest Main pipe enlargement, a project that began in fiscal 2023, was completed in fiscal 2025. She described a low‑impact development demonstration project — including bio‑swales and pervious parking — and said the CRA’s tree‑box filters remove an estimated 300 pounds of nitrogen and about 60 pounds of phosphorus annually from runoff before it reaches the lagoon.
Williams also reported CRA budgeting and project planning: she said $244,004.65 had originally been allocated for rapid‑flashing lights and other safety features but that coordination with FDOT has eliminated that local cost, and that Broad Street design work is underway with surveying and soil borings planned.
She cited a return‑on‑investment figure for a recent project, saying the study shows about $14 returned for every $1 of grant money spent.
On public safety, Williams said overall burglaries in the CRA have declined while commercial burglaries showed an increase within the CRA; she also summarized traffic‑safety and community‑policing activity and reported $26,219 spent on community policing last year.
After the presentation Member Nelson moved to approve the annual report, a motion seconded by Vice Chair Cole; the mayor called a voice vote and announced the motion carried.
The planner closed by noting ongoing placemaking work (banners, directories, sunshades) and recurring downtown events such as the Miracle City Market. The CRA indicated staff will return with more detailed cost estimates and implementation plans for Broad Street and other capital items.
