DOWNTOWN BUSINESS NEWSCRA Approved to Purchase Four Downtown PropertiesEarlier this week, the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) received approval from City Council for their $20 million plan to purchase four downtown properties. The CRA is looking to convert two buildings adjacent to Lake Eola into a larger, more formal gateway into the park, as well as convert a corner lot at 30 S. Orange Avenue into a smaller pocket park. The plans also call for the development of the 15-year-vacant 1 N. Orange Avenue office building into a mixed-use concept with a possible restaurant use on the bottom and converting the former offices on the remaining floors into attainable housing.
