CRA Budget Amendment Two
Summary
The council found blight conditions exist in the area slated to join the Downtown Orlando CRA and adopted the 2026 plan amendment. That means future property tax growth in the expanded area will be reinvested downtown. The trust fund ordinance directing those dollars passed first reading and comes back April 20.
