6. Solstice f/k/a Cirrus Point: No new information on this parcel is available. The
property was recently listed for sale for 2.5 million. This item has still not been heard
by the Board of Commissioners. CRA staff is currently working with the property

construction of a pedestrian pathway.
7. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) f/k/a DRI Grants; February 23rd

8. Pineland Avenue: Community and Human Services (CHS) notified CRA staff in late
June that the project had to be constructed and completed by August 31, 2015 in order to
utilize the DRI funds. Based on the project status and timeline, it was determined that
staff would not be able to meet the CHS deadline. Staff worked with CHS staff to move
funding sources from Disaster Recovery Initiative funding to Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) funds. However, based on limited CDBG funds, CHS was only
able to partially fund Pineland Avenue for $98,050. Karen Drive will not be funded.
There is a $3,560 anticipated shortfall for Pineland Avenue improvements that will need
to be absorbed by the CRA.

on three occasions funds are available, but later informed there was not adequate funding.
