JUNE 17, 2025 REGULAR MEETING · ITEM #8
Subject: Discussion on Allocation of CRA Funds to Support Veterans in Cape Canaveral. Department: CRA Board
Summary: The Cape Canaveral CRA has historically supported a range of redevelopment projects
aimed at economic development, infrastructure, residential improvements, and community
revitalization. Given the significant population of veterans in our area and their unique needs, I
would like to propose that a dedicated portion of CRA funding be earmarked to support veteran-
focused initiatives.
I am requesting that we explore the feasibility and impact of allocating a designated percentage of
CRA Grant Program funds toward initiatives, services, or projects that support veterans residing in
the Cape Canaveral CRA district. Submitting Board Member: Don Willis Date: June 3, 2025
Attachments: Financial Impact: Staff time and effort to prepare this agenda item.
