West Augustine

West Augustine Development Opportunities

The West Augustine CRA was the first of three redevelopment areas. The West Augustine Community Redevelopment Plan was prepared utilizing input from the community to create redevelopment programs that address the priorities expressed in the meeting of the West Augustine CRA Steering Committee. Every effort was made to address each priority issue stated by the members of the community through a redevelopment program.

This Plan is program oriented, not site or project specific. The programs created for this community will be phased in based on future community input and future revenues available for redevelopment from tax-increment revenues, county funding, grants, and other public or private resources. The tax increment mechanism established for this area provides dedicated revenue for a thirty-year period. The Plan should be considered the “tool box” to achieve the community goals.

The Plan addresses the elimination of blighted conditions, provides for community policing, affordable housing programs, infrastructure improvement, economic development incentives, and encourages the development of activities, which impact on the quality of life of the people who live and work in the West Augustine neighborhood. The West Augustine neighborhood is within the western development path of the greater St. Augustine area. West Augustine Boundary Map  |  Community Redevelopment Plan
