The city of Clearwater’s Community Redevelopment Agency aims to promote Downtown Clearwater’s ongoing neighborhood revitalization through programs and initiatives that strengthen and stimulate our local economy and environment. Downtown Clearwater, historically the Pinellas County seat and center of commercial and social activity on Florida’s West Coast, now known as the Cleveland Street District

in downtown Clearwater has a $10+ million streetscape. Just east of the Clearwater Harbor bluff, it is the perfect setting for the unique mix of shopping and dining enterprises that are restoring and preserving the district's distinctive character. A public art program and world class live entertainment at the Capitol Theatre offer pleasures for the eyes and ears and lushly landscaped medians and sidewalks provide cool places in an urban setting. The Clearwater Harbor Marina creates a vital link between the District’s new enterprises and the city’s spectacular waterfront.

A vision for the future, powered by local entrepreneurs.

Check out the recap of Taste of The Village, a community event hosted by the Clearwater Urban Leadership Coalition (CULC) that brought together residents, entrepreneurs, businesses, and community partners on Monday, June 15.

Attendees sampled products from local businesses, networked with entrepreneurs, and learned more about "The Village," formerly known as "The Grove @ 1105." The future shipping container business hub is designed to support entrepreneurship and create new economic opportunities in North Greenwood. The project is being advanced through a partnership between the Clearwater Urban Leadership Coalition, the City of Clearwater, and the Clearwater CRA.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the event a success. We're excited to see the momentum continue as The Village moves forward.
