Downtown Clearwater county properties redevelopment (proposed request for negotiations)
Description
The county is preparing a competitive request for negotiations to solicit developers for its 25 acres of downtown Clearwater property, with fee-simple sale or lease structures both on the table. The proposed process comes to the board May 5, with an RFN release possibly mid-June and an award around early 2027.
Impact summary
This is the largest redevelopment in Clearwater's history — it will decide whether downtown gets a convention center, affordable housing, activated street life, or falls further under one entity's control.
