What is the CRA?  It is an Agency governed by a seven member Board of Commissioners appointed by the City of Lake Worth Commission.  Their role is to direct activities within the CRA in accordance with the approved Lake Worth Redevelopment Plan.  Revenue is generated for CRA projects through Tax Increment Financing (TIF).

 PCNA wants to make 2011 the year for bringing important local issues to you along with our usual social events.  We started the year with Joseph Kroll as our guest speaker and will be inviting other community officials to future meetings.
