Dedicated to Sustainability & Economic Growth in Merritt Island
The mission of the Redevelopment Agency is to create and implement community-based redevelopment strategies that promote quality growth and economic development for the purpose of eliminating slum and blight. MIRA values preserving Merritt Island’s history, culture and natural environment, and improving the quality of life for residents, workers, and visitors. Project planning and execution is funded through various sources, including Tax Increment Financing (TIF), grants, and donations.
How MIRA Is Organized:
In 1989, Brevard County Board of County Commissioners established the Merritt Island Redevelopment Agency (MIRA). A seven member appointed volunteer Board is responsible for providing oversight to MIRA. MIRA staff consists of an Executive Director, a Community Redevelopment Manager and an Administrative Assistant. MIRA also utilizes support services from the County for which MIRA is billed.
Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRAs) are responsible for:
- Preparing redevelopment plans for designated areas
- Implementing the plan through various means and funding sources such as tax increment financing (T.I.F.), grants, and updated land use regulations
