Flagler Estates Road and Water Control District, an independent special taxing district, duly organized and existing under the provisions of Chapter 98-528, Laws of Florida, and Chapter 298, Florida Statutes, as amended, has determined to undertake a capital project consisting of the purchase and application of asphalt millings to improve portions of Flagler Estates Boulevard and other roads within the District and the boundary of Flagler Estates CRA (the "Project"), and has requested the assistance of the St. Johns County Community Redevelopment Agency in financing the Project. The need to improve these roads is critical to the economic enhancement and overall development of the Flagler Estates CRA and is consistent with the approved Community Redevelopment Plan. In June of 2024, the Flagler Estates CRA Steering Committee voted to request support from the Community Redevelopment Agency to use Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds from the Flagler Estates Trust Fund to assist in the Project.
