Fifty West Description Established in 2006, the Ocoee Community Redevelopment District, now known as Fifty West, encompasses 1,070 acres along the State Road 50 corridor. The activities and programs offered within Fifty West are administered by the CRA; a seven-member board. The CRA Board consists of the ve members of the Ocoee City Commission and two individuals appointed by the City Commission, one being nominated by Orange County. The CRA Board implements City policy regarding redevelopment and the expenditure of funds received by the Agency from local taxing authorities. Redevelopment revenues are derived from incremental nancing. The CRA has the ability to implement programs and projects that local governments may not, such as leveraging local public funds with private dollars. The Community Redevelopment District is set to sunset in 2036; however, it may be extended to 2046 by local action. Any funds remaining in the CRA trust fund on the sunset date will be returned to the contributing taxing authorities. Purpose The purpose of the Ocoee Community Redevelopment Agency is to formulate a workable program using appropriate private and public resources to eliminate and prevent the development or spread of blighted areas within the Fifty West Redevelopment District consistent with the adopted Community Redevelopment Plan. Fifty West is a vital component of the area and represents an opportunity for the City to revitalize the community with the creation of jobs, new infrastructure, beautication projects, new and redeveloped commercial, retail and housing options, and by improving the quality of life through lifestyle choices for residents and business owners. The Fifty West Community Redevelopment Plan and subsequent planning initiatives such as the Target Areas Special Development Plan provides solutions related to land use planning, infrastructure and services, land development regulations, economic development, and aesthetic design to improve the vitality of the Redevelopment District and promote Fifty West as a "destination place." Vision Statement The future for Ocoee’s Fifty West Redevelopment District includes centers of vibrant, urban, mixed-use development that provides enhanced pedestrian and automobile connectivity, exible land uses, a diverse economic base, a mix of housing types, a shared responsibility of infrastructure nancing, public open space and parks, creating an enhanced image and contemporary development form.

Old Winter Garden/Maguire Intersection Improvements 4 - Old Winter Garden Road Extension This project includes working with Target Area 1 property owners to plan, design and construct a roadway extension connecting Old Winter Garden Road, where it currently dead ends at Maguire Road, to Economic Court at SR 50. The new roadway connection will relieve traffic along SR 50 and Maguire Road caused by the redevelopment of Target Area 1. The roadway improvements include a complete street design for the new roadway including on-street parking, wide walks, landscaping, and stormwater management for the project. Phase I involves working with the developer to construct the Maguire Road/Old Winter Garden Road intersection improvements. The total estimated payment in 24/25 is $1,390616. The current construction estimate is $6,200,000. In FY 2022-23, the City Commission approved The Regency, a mix use development including multifamily residential and commercial . As part of the approval, as described in the development agreement, the CRA would reimburse the developer of the Regency for the intersection improvements caused by utility work and the extension of Old Winter Garden Road to the west. CRA 5-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Capital Projects 1 - Bluford Avenue Streetscape 2 - Wellness Park Restroom Following the opening of Healthy West Orange Wellness Park there was a request from not only the Police Department but also Healthy West Orange and the public to add a restroom. There is very little room available to site the restroom other that next to the PD Station and the small retention pond. In 2021, the CRA merged the dollars identified for both S. Bluford Streetscape and the S. Bluford/ Geneva Intersection together to create the S. Bluford Complete Street project. This project includes the addition of a multipurpose path, landscaping, lighting, roundabouts at Maine Street/Bluford and Geneva Street/Bluford, sewer expansion and undergrounding of utilities. The conceptual planning has been completed and the preliminary design funds were encumbered in FY 2021. The preliminary design was completed by mid Fall 2023. Final engineering was initiated May 2023 for an amount of $740,788.64, including $12,590 paid for transportation impact fees for the city's portion north of Geneva. The 1st phase of construction is north of Old Winter Garden Road to Geneva. $79,931.50 of this amount was already identified in FY23 and is being carried over into FY24 EXHIBIT A Page 17 of 22 450,000$ 3,000,000$ 3,000,000$ 6,450,000$ 780,744.50$ 2,000,000$ 2,780,744.50$ 290,000.00$ 250,000$ 250,000$ 250,000$ 250,000$ 1,290,000.00$ -$ 50,000$ 50,000.00$ 800,000$ 9,000,000$ 9,800,000.00$ $ 7,856,740.00 $ 9,690,616 $ 6,950,000 $ 4,050,000 $ 9,250,000 $ 37,797,356.00 $250,000 of this amount was already identified in FY23 and is being carried over into FY24 The full $450,000 was already identified in FY23 and is being carried over into FY24 Maine Street Park will be developed by City Center, then turned over to the City. The funds identified are to create interpretive signs related to historic Maine Street. A park identification sign will also be fabricated and designed based on the City's new standard. 9 - Maine Street Park Signage & Amenities 10 - Story Road Widening This project has been identified to improve roadway capacity. Winter Garden has identified a project to widen Story Road west of SR 429. Funds allocated will be used to make minor water, sewer, reclaim, roadway, sidewalk, and stormwater improvements within the CRA and within public infrastructure. 8 - Acquisitions May be used to pay for property appraisals, assessments and acquisition within the CRA. Currently there are no funds assigned to this project. 7 - Minor CRA Infrastructure Improvements N. Blackwood Avenue Streetscape includes the addition of a roundabout at Montgomery Avenue, added landscaped medians, and new lighting. Other improvements include new sidewalks and paving. This project is in the final design phase. We will need to acquire ROW clips from 3 parcels and easements. Construction will not be programmed until construction is nearing completion at City Center, being that N. Blackwood Avenue is currently being used as the construction entrance to City Center from SR 50. This project has been delayed due to City Center being pushed back to 2024. We are currently working with Duke for lighting. 6 - N. Blackwood Ave. Streetscape & Roundabouts 5 - Maguire Road Phase 5 Maguire Road Phase 5 includes operational roadway improvements, including the addition of lanes on Maguire Road north of SR 50 to Story Road. The project will also include sidewalks and landscaped medians. The ROW is in place and construction documents have been completed; however, it has been several years since the design was completed. Based on the age of the design documents, the City/CRA plans to enlist the services of one of the City's continuing engineering firms to review and update the plans to today's standards. There is $1.2 million available from transportation impact fees paid by Manheim Auto Auction in 2000 to assist with the roadway project. In FY 2023, we seek to complete the engineering and permitting. If additional funds are found, construction can begin in subsequent years. The full $780,744.50 was already identified in FY23 and is being carried over into FY24 EXHIBIT A Page 18 of 22 1 N.

At the time of filing this report, the CRA shall publish in a newspaper of general circulation in the City a notice to the effect that such report has been filed with the City and that the report is available for inspection during business hours in the office of the Clerk of the City and in the CRA's office. Section 163.371(2), Florida Statutes only requires that the Annual Report be filed with the County and be published on the CRA website. It does not require the publication of a public ad or notice, making this requirement unnecessary. We are seeking a motion to adopt the amended CRA By-Laws as presented.
