Virtual Community Stakeholder Meeting
The Pompano Beach CRA will host a virtual Community Stakeholder Meeting led by the architects of the McNab House & Botanical Gardens on Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2020 at 6 p.m. The event is open to all Pompano Beach residents and business owners who would like to learn about the potential concepts being considered for the site. To participate, RSVPs must be received by November 30 at 11:59 pm via pompanobeachfl.gov/mcnab or by calling (954) 786-5535.
Those who register before the deadline will receive an email from the Pompano Beach CRA the morning of the meeting with instructions to join the Community Stakeholder Meeting using Zoom. You must submit a valid email address to register and attend.
The meeting will include a PowerPoint presentation by Bermello, Ajamil and Partners (B&A), the award-winning Landscape Architecture, Planning and Urban Design firm that will be transforming the space into a beautiful amenity-filled botanical garden. During the meeting, the protocol for providing public feedback about the presentation will be announced and residents will have one week to participate.
The McNab House, built in 1926, was moved from its original location on Atlantic Boulevard, when the owners sold the land for development. With the support of the Pompano Beach Historical Society, the Pompano Beach CRA saved the historic home, moving it several blocks to McNab Park, with the vision of transforming the home into a restaurant and the surrounding land into a botanical garden. The goal of the McNab House and Botanical Gardens project is to continue economic growth with the East CRA and Atlantic Boulevard corridor. Activation of the park will encourage more pedestrian activity and create a unique attraction with park elements for residents and visitors to enjoy.
About the Pompano Beach CRA:
The City of Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) was created in 1989. It has two independent districts: Northwest CRA and East CRA established by City government for the purpose of carrying out redevelopment activities that include reducing or eliminating blight, improving the economic health of an area, and encouraging public and private investments in a CRA district.
The Pompano Beach CRA is funded through Tax Increment Financing (TIF). The funds are collected as property values increase and a portion of that increase is captured by the Agency. TIF raises revenue for redevelopment efforts without raising taxes. For more information www.pompanobeachfl.gov/pages/cra
