FPRA Resolution 25-09 Authorizing or Denying a First Amendment to Grant Agreement for Commercial Facade Improvement located at 207 Orange Ave

On September 10, 2024, FPRA and Jetset Events, LLC entered into the Grant Agreement for Commercial Façade Improvement for the commercial facade located at 207 Orange Avenue. 

Per the terms of the Grant Agreement, the recipient was required to obtain building permits within six months of the agreement’s effective date. However, due to sourcing challenges and a tenant-related issue, the recipient was unable to secure the necessary permits within the specified timeframe. As a result, the grantee is now requesting a seven-month extension to obtain the required permits for the facade renovation.

If approved, the new deadline to receive the building permits would be October 10, 2025.
 

FPRA Plan Goal 7 - The Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency shall increase private sector investment and business development within the Community Redevelopment Area.

FPRA Plan Goal 9 - The Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency shall support small businesses, start-up businesses and support entrepreneurial activity within the Redevelopment Area.

Staff recommends granting the recipient's request for an extension and authorizing execution of the First Amendment to the Grant Agreement.

Staff will proceed as directed by the FPRA Board
