Final CRA budget for FY 2026/2027
Summary
The CRA's $1.02 million budget funds sidewalks, parks, and downtown improvements using tax increment revenue from the city and county. It's down about 59% from the prior year's amended budget, and commissioners see room to shift more general-fund costs into it to save taxpayer money.

Impact analysis
The adopted CRA budget totals $1,024,005, down about 59% from the prior amended year, and up to $220,000 in general-fund costs may shift to it.
Residents and businesses in the CRA district get funded sidewalks, parks, and downtown improvements while potentially easing pressure on the general fund.
Critics note CRA money relies on county TIF revenue that isn't guaranteed, and residents already strained by stormwater fees worry about spending priorities.
