SPECIAL PRESENTATION/REPORT:
1. CRA Grant Program Guidelines and Applications by Grant Writer/Chief Public Information
Officer Merrell Angstreich. Grant Writer/Chief Public Information Officer Angstreich went
over the CRA residential grant application purpose and process. She provided details of the
grant which is for a total of $250,000 and will be available on a first come first serve basis.
She explained that funding caps are in place and she described the qualifications and terms of
the grant (Exhibit A).
A resident asked if the grant funds could be used to address a code violation. Grant
Writer/Chief Public Information Officer Angstreich advised the resident that yes, it could be
used for that purpose but that if there was a code violation on a property, the grant funds
would need to be used to address the violation before any beautification projects could be
approved under the grant.
Commissioner Mary Beth Taylor asked if the income guidelines would apply to a property
owner or to a renter and she was told that the renter’s income would be used to calculate the
income for grant purposes but that the question presents a potential amendment to the
application. Commissioner John Linden asked about a projected date of approval of
applications for residents. Grant Writer/Chief Public Information Officer Angstreich advised
that once the Board approves the grant application at their next meeting on June 7, 2023, it
could be from 10 days to 2 weeks for applications to be approved. Residents were
encouraged to follow the CRA on Facebook for updates on the grant and applications.
Grant Writer/Chief Public Information Officer Angstreich went over the CRA business grant
application purpose and process. She stated that they will be offering a business plan guide

along with the grant for those businesses that wanted it. She explained that the total amount
of the grant is for $500,000 and will be available on a first come first serve basis. She
provided a summary of the purpose and terms of the grant. (Exhibit B).
A business owner asked if the application would only be open to store-front types of
businesses and Grant Writer/Chief Public Information Officer Angstreich stated that no, it is
not limited to those types of businesses.
Lo-kal Gastropub business owner stated a concern about the language as written regarding
business loss qualifications and that it does not encompass businesses that have been dis-
advantaged by the CRA. Town Manager John D’Agostino explained that the residential
units that will be coming into the CRA that could increase business within the CRA were still
two to three years down the road and encouraged the business owner to work on a business
plan that would sustain the business. He stated that initiatives would need to come from the
CRA and from the businesses within the CRA in a combined effort. The business owner re-
stated his concern. Town Manager D’Agostino assured the business owner that the grant
would apply to him.
A restaurant owner stated concerns over having to move his business but that there are no
suitable locations available within the CRA. Town Manager D’Agostino offered assistance
with finding a location and directed the business owner to another possible grant scenario
that could assist with re-developing a site to suit their needs.
A member of the attendees asked if there was a cap on the residential grant. Grant
Writer/Chief Public Information Officer Angstreich stated that a cap was not notated but that
it could be potential language they could add to the application to establish a cap.
Commissioner Judith Thomas asked why the grant was not available to homestead
properties. Grant Writer/Chief Public Information Officer Angstreich advised that making
the grant available to homestead properties is something that could potentially be included in
the application. Commissioner Thomas also had a question about ad valorem taxes and
stated that the residents also have the PACE program available to them.
An attendee asked if the funds used to correct code violations could be granted on a separate
basis. Grant Writer/Chief Public Information Officer Angstreich advised that it could be
considered.
Grant Writer/Chief Public Information Officer Angstreich encouraged potential applicants to
start putting together their supporting documentation so that when the application is
finalized, they are already prepared.

Guidelines And Procedures
For
Residential CRA Grant Program
Please note than an application must be approved by the CRA BEFORE work begins.
The applicant assumes all financial liabilities related to work that is completed prior to a ruling.
The applicant will receive an official written correspondence from the CRA Grant Program
Committee following a review of the application.
Purpose
The primary objective of this grant program is to encourage redevelopment and revitalization of
residential structures and properties by offering limited financial and technical assistance. The
overall objective is to stimulate reinvestment in the CRA districts and to preserve or revitalize
the homes that create the unique character of the community.
Residential property owners may qualify for this matching grant program which provides full
payment for low-income homeowner-occupied properties and 50% reimbursement for
residential rental properties occupied by low-income tenants of the total project cost, to pay for
the design and/or implementation of eligible improvements to existing residential structures
within the CRA. Grants requested solely for the purpose of beautification will also only be
funded at 50%, regardless of applicant status. It is not the intent of this grant program to
provide for continuing or ongoing maintenance. All disbursements of grant funds are made
following the completion and final inspection of the improvement project; payments for
residential property owners will be paid directly to contractors upon approval by the homeowner.
Funds are appropriated annually in the CRA budget for each district and are available on a first-
come, first-served basis. The program is subject to the availability of allocated funds in the CRA
budget. Low-income describes an individual or family that is at or below 80% of the area median
income. Proof of income must be provided.
Applicants are reminded that grant awards are discretionary and should not be considered an
entitlement. All grant criteria contained herein are guidelines, not guarantees for awards and
successful applicants may receive any amount up to the maximum award. Should an applicant
meet all grant criteria, a grant may or may not be awarded due to funding limitations, competing
applications, and/or competing priorities. Program details are subject to change.
Program Rules
The following rules are intended to inform a potential grant applicant of the extent and scope of
the program. The desired result will halt deterioration, stabilize property values, improve and
upgrade the appearance of the area, and facilitate and encourage redevelopment activity in the
CRA. This program shall not serve to pay for delinquent or recurring operational utility or similar
invoices.
1. The program is for residential properties only, to include residentially zoned properties not
homesteaded or occupied by the property owner (i.e. residential rental properties). The
property owner must be the applicant. Applications for properties delinquent in payment
of property taxes will not be accepted.
2. The program is available only for property located within the CRA.
3. The property to be improved by the grant cannot have Town of Lake Park liens against it,
unpaid bills, and/or open Town of Lake Park code violations. If these issues exist, they
must be addressed prior to any beautification work is undertaken.
4. Improvements must be consistent with applicable design guidelines and policies as
outlined by the CRA Plan and all other applicable codes.

annual grant cycle. A grant agreement that includes consecutive years of funding may be
approved and is contingent on the CRA Board’s acceptance of this type of grant
agreement. The Residential Improvement Grant Program is only available to applicants

determines if the application is complete. If the application is determined to be incomplete,
it will be returned to the applicant and the applicant will have the opportunity to resubmit.

completed application packet is not a guarantee of funding.
4. Applicants may not have any outstanding Town of Lake Park violations or liens against
their property. CRA grants will not be awarded until the complete satisfaction of any Town
of Lake Park violations or liens.

compliance with the terms of the grant agreement.
4. Grant funds will be dispersed after the improvements are completed and inspected (unless
a grant agreement stipulates otherwise). In the case of residential rental properties, it is the
responsibility of the applicant to maintain proper documentation of funds expended in the

documentation to the CRA Grant Program Committee by the applicant. The project must be
completed essentially as presented to the CRA Grant Program Committee and approved by

Purpose
The purpose of the CRA Commercial And Industrial Improvement Grant Program, which
includes the facility improvement grant and the operational sustainability grant, is to assist
commercial property and business owners in the CRA with maintaining their businesses and/or
properties during times of financial distress and encouraging them to invest in their operations
through interior or exterior improvements. The objective is to stimulate reinvestment in the CRA
districts and to preserve or renew the traditional business areas and establish them as centers
for community-oriented activities.
Commercial property owners may apply for the facility improvement grant, which is a matching
grant program that provides up to 50% reimbursement of the total project cost, up to a $75,000
grant, to pay for the design and implementation of eligible improvements to existing commercial
structures within the CRA.
Owners of businesses located in the Lake Park CRA that have experienced a documented
downturn in their business may apply for an operational sustainability grant of up to $25,000
for six months or up to $50,000 for one year, based on prior income and expenses.
Funds for both grants are appropriated annually in the CRA budget and are available on a first-
come, first-served basis. The program is subject to the availability of allocated funds in the CRA
budget.
