Community Redevelopment Plan: Northwest-Progresso-Flagler Heights Area

The Northwest-Progresso-Flagler Heights (NPF) Community Redevelopment Plan was originally adopted in 1995 and amended in 2001. In December 2025, the CRA Board approved the Amended and Restated Community Redevelopment Plan, updating the vision and strategies that will guide the district through 2035.

The Amended Plan focuses on five core redevelopment goals:

• Economic Development
• Housing & Residential Life
• Public Improvements & Infrastructure
• Transportation & Mobility, and Redevelopment Support.

These goals outline initiatives that strengthen neighborhoods, expand housing opportunities, improve public spaces, and support local businesses.

The Redevelopment Plan serves as the guiding framework for reducing blight, encouraging reinvestment, and supporting a vibrant, thriving NPF CRA district.

NPF CRA Implementation Plan

In February 2008, the NPF CRA Implementation Plan  was created to be the agent for change in the area. This change is proposed to occur by setting eight goals:

• Aggressively pursue the redevelopment of all vacant properties at the intersection of NW 6th Street and NW 7th Avenue for large scale development
• Strategically redevelop large, underutilized sites to be compatible with the overall vision of the CRA, including the Trash Transfer Facility, the Mizell Center and the Concrete Plant
• Make changes to the Zoning Code to make the parking requirements more compatible with development goals and eliminate inconsistencies in the project development review process
• Create and implement area wide design guidelines 
• Continue to promote home ownership opportunities by utilizing vacant lots for infill housing
• Create positive redevelopment opportunities through the development of the 7th and 9th Connector
• Implement comprehensive traffic calming measures to mitigate the effects of cut-through traffic
• Target and attract specific industries to establish a presence in the area.

Five-Year Strategic Plan

In October 2013, the CRA Board of Directors approved the Five-Year Strategic Plan which creates a transparent spending program tied to the objectives of the CRA Redevelopment Plan, over the course of the next five years. The Five-Year Program delineates the policies, programs and investments necessary to achieve the goals and objectives of the CRA Redevelopment Plan. The development of a Five-Year Program for the NPF CRA will create a transparent and simple framework to prioritize our efforts and chart a course for success.
