SUBJECT:
Peacock Art District Mural Program Update
SUMMARY:
At the July 12, 2022 Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency (FPRA) Meeting, the Board approved the 2022-2023 FPRA Project Based Budget. The budget includes allocated funds towards the implementation of the Peacock Art District (PAD) Mural Program. The intent of the program is to achieve the FPRA's cultural arts initiative and spur economic activity within the FPRA boundary. The mural program is funded with a $40,000 budget and will be implemented in a two-phase approach that will be done within the PAD. In the 2022-2023 FPRA fiscal year, the first phase will use a targeted corridor strategy focused on installing murals in areas around the orange avenue corridor. If funds are available, the second phase will take place in the 2023-2024 FPRA fiscal year, broadening the program to the PAD at large. The program will include the input of property owners, FPRA Advisory Board Members, the FPRA Board and FPRA staff. Program activities are expected to begin in January of 2023.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval to proceed with the PAD Mural Program Plan.
ALTERNATIVES:
Staff will proceed as directed by the FPRA Board.
