Attention Lealman residents and stakeholders: Pinellas County is on the lookout for a new member to join the Lealman Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) Citizen Advisory Committee. The chosen candidate will be stepping into a three-year term, helping guide the redevelopment plans within the Lealman CRA. According to the Pinellas County's announcement, this is an opportunity for involved community members to make a tangible impact on their neighborhood's future.
The committee, which advises the Pinellas County Community Redevelopment Agency on various aspects of local redevelopment, operates with a membership of nine. Serving as the bridge between the residents and the county, they are tasked with discussing amendments and policies that affect the CRA. If you're a resident, or have a business or own property within the Lealman CRA's boundaries, you might be the fitting candidate they're seeking. The Lealman CRA boundary map is available for those interested in checking their eligibility.
Meetings of the Lealman CRA Citizen Advisory Committee occur monthly or bi-monthly, depending on the current level of CRA activity, and are typically held on the fourth Wednesday of the month. Those considering applying should note that while regular attendance is expected, meetings are subject to cancellation or rescheduling when necessary.
To ensure the Advisory Committee comprises voices truly representative of the Lealman community, applicants must hail from within the redevelopment area itself, encapsulating true local interests and concerns. Full details on the application process can be found alongside the committee's bylaws on the county website, where potential applicants can also view the precise CRA boundaries. The Lealman CRA is not just drawing lines on a map but drawing together community talents for a shared vision of progress.
