Today, we are chatting with Amy Davis, Assistant to County Administration, who runs the Lealman CRA.
Tell us a little about yourself and your organization: The Lealman Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) was officially established by Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners in 2015; subsequently, the Lealman CRA Redevelopment Plan was adopted in 2016. The Lealman CRA is generally bounded by the City of Pinellas Park to the north, Kenneth City to the west, and the City of St. Petersburg to the south and east. The Lealman Community Redevelopment Area Plan serves as a comprehensive framework for long-term development, economic development and redevelopment revitalization strategies.
The Lealman CRA team is Amy Davis, Felix Nuñez, and Cameron Ehmig.
Tell us who you serve and how: The CRA is part of unincorporated Pinellas County. The CRA has multiple programs and initiatives within the Community Redevelopment area, such as commercial and residential grant programs, public art/murals, sidewalk construction and park improvements.
What programs or opportunities are available through your organization to our Lealman neighbors? We have offices in the Lealman Exchange, and we can be reached by email, phone, or by appointment if you have any questions regarding our grant programs and the online application process or any of the CRA projects.
