Advisory Board.
The purpose of this nine-member committee is to review the Redevelopment Plan, to make recommendations

respective component areas and to report such information to the Community Redevelopment Agency.
Members are to be comprised of Bayshore residents, Gateway Triangle residents, Bayshore business owners,
Tamiami Trail (US41) business owners, Davis Boulevard (SR84) business owners, Bayshore MSTU
representatives, and at large representatives who reside or engage in business or both in the
Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area. Terms are three years. A list of the current membership is
