Commercial Improvement Grants
Up to $48,809.60 in Midtown CRA funds will help renovate a commercial property at 901 Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Boulevard.
Municipal Property Disposition on South Grandview Avenue
The city wants to sell 146 and 148 South Grandview, but some commissioners want the parcels split so a second house could be built — something legal staff say conflicts with zoning minimums. The sale agreement was tabled pending legal research.
Burgoyne site redevelopment and structured parking
Board members discussed the Burgoyne parcel — a potential $200–300 million project — noting Brownwhere will master-plan the site and that public participation might come via structured parking, which could require CRA financing tools beyond the CRA's remaining years.
NASCAR Lot 7 Mixed-Use Residential Development
A large 191-acre parcel near Daytona International Speedway is being prepared for a major residential and mixed-use community, adding up to 2,500 new housing units. This project changes the land use from industrial to mixed-use, altering the neighborhood landscape while capping vehicle trips below previous limits.
Midtown Vacant Lot Acquisition and Property Exchange
The city considered buying a small vacant lot on MLK Boulevard for about $27,700, but commissioners asked if they could trade another city-owned lot instead to save money since the parcel is too small to build on.
Surplus Property Disposition and Infill Potential at 146-148 South Orlando Avenue
Board members debated whether the city-owned property at 146-148 South Orlando Avenue should be sold as a single parcel or split into two lots to encourage affordable housing infill development.
Transform Midtown Housing Master Plan
The Housing Authority presented an extensive multi-phase redevelopment plan for historical Midtown, replacing substandard public housing with elevated podium-style mixed-income housing, parks, and community hubs.
