the need for regulated short-
term parking to accommodate
an influx of business patrons.
Development Opportunity
The Dania Beach CRA is seeking
developers to submit letters of
interest to develop both parcels
of a highly visible City-owned City-
Center-zoned property located at
148 N Federal Hwy . For
details, go to dani-
abeachfl.gov/vendor-
and-bid-opportunities.
Fall Events to Boost Foot Traffic
Downtown Dania Beach will have a surge of
activity from Dania Beach Art Week,
September 27 through October 3 and
Oktoberfest Beerfest on October 10.
Prepare your businesses to co-market with
these events by using store window
signage, social media and marketing in-
house specials during these times.
Local art galleries have collaborated on the
first ever Dania Beach Art Week and have
plans for a full week of associated activities.
In addition to the premier weekend Gallery
Hop, there will be various art installations,
classes, and interactive events. For the full

or scan the QR code.
Oktoberfest Beerfest October 10
Hundreds of residents and visitors will attend the third annual Dania Beach
Oktoberfest Beerfest on Saturday, October 10, 6 -9pm to be expanded from
City Hall Plaza to Dania Beach Blvd. Showcase your brand as a food or art
vendor at the event for a fee of $50—$600 depending on size, vending type,
and availability; or, offer deals and specials to Oktoberfest ticket holders
inviting them to visit your business before or after the event. Local business
participation introduces the public to the city’s diverse business offerings and
increases business. For more information, visit DaniaBeachOktoberfest.com.
Four New Restaurants Underway
Federal Highway and Dania Beach Blvd will feature
four new restaurants soon, an indication that
downtown Dania Beach is experiencing increased
market growth. Shibolim Bakery and Antonio’s Pizza
are expansions of existing businesses, and Mystic
Social Club and Olive & Ember are new ventures
bringing new life to two landmark commercial spaces.
Where Everybody Knows Your Name
Downtown businesses can thrive when they prioritize customer service.
Getting to know regular customers or remembering a face, if not a name,
breeds the familiarity that makes whatever you are selling feel extra special. As
small businesses are free of corporate regulations that govern portions and
potions they can offer that customer who likes an extra spoonful the kind of
value that keeps them coming back.

Redevelopment Agency supports

4. Presentations
4.1 Federal Highway Real Estate Market Update
CRA Redevelopment Real Estate Manager Yavocka Young Smith provided an update on the
sales, leases and pending transactions for storefronts. She commented that since June, the
downtown commercial district has seen notable movement in both property sales and leasing.
Four properties were sold, with prices ranging from $700,000 to $2 million, reflecting renewed
investor interest. Several long‑vacant storefronts that were previously empty for nearly two years
have finally been leased, primarily to restaurants and a retailer. Additional transactions are
underway, including contracts for shared commercial spaces, new market concepts, bakery
expansion, and a long‑anticipated build‑out for the future Mystic Social Club at the former
Paulo’s location.
She stated that new restaurant concepts, including Olive & Ember and the Caribbean‑inspired
Mystic Social Club, are expected to enhance the district’s appeal with modern design, outdoor
seating, and entertainment offerings. Despite this progress, several challenges remain such as
inconsistent lease pricing, limited foot traffic, weak connectivity between the downtown area and
the beach, parking limitations, and ongoing efforts to improve the district’s image and
infrastructure. Efforts are planned to standardize lease rates, improve visual appeal, and
strengthen community partnerships to support a more vibrant and sustainable downtown.
Discussions ensued between the Board and CRA Redevelopment Real Estate Manager Yavocka
Young Smith regarding commercial rental pricing, the impact of vacancy durations, strategies for
setting consistent lease rates, and how business type, parking availability, and rent levels
influence customer traffic and sustainability. Participants acknowledged ongoing market shifts,
property sales, and increasing interest from prospective businesses as positive signs for future
growth.

Budget Message
City Manager/Executive Director, Candido Sosa-Cruz, ICMA-CM
July 22, 2026
Honorable Chair, Vice Chair and Members of the Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Board:
I am honored to present the Fiscal Year 2027 Budget Message for the Dania Beach Community Redevelopment
Agency. The recommended budget totals $2,481,236, representing a decrease of 12 percent from the prior fiscal year.
This budget reflects a clear commitment to results. It directs public resources toward eliminating blight,
strengthening neighborhoods, attracting investment and activating Federal Highway and Dania Beach Boulevard as
destinations for commerce and oppor tunity.
Every expenditure has been evaluated against the CRA’s mission and the value it delivers to the community. Through
disciplined decision-making and responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars, we are creating a more focused
organization that can produce visible improvements and lasting economic benefits.
Operational Efficiency and Fiscal Stewardship
The FY2027 budget includes several reductions and realignments to direct resources toward the CRA’s highest
priorities.
The CRA Director position has been eliminated. As City Manager, I will also ser ve as Executive Director of the CRA. This
structure provides direct executive accountability while allowing the Agency to benefit from the expertise and
resources of City departments.
The CRA website will also be aligned with the City’s website and managed internally. This will eliminate a separate
external expense while ensuring that information remains current, accessible and professionally presented.
These changes reduce administrative costs and allow more funding to be invested directly into businesses,
neighborhoods and redevelopment initiatives.
Economic Development and Strategic Investment
Economic development remains the CRA’s central focus. We will market the redevelopment area to prospective
businesses and investors while continuing to support existing businesses and their opportunities for growth.
The FY2027 budget allocates $12,500 for the City and CRA’s membership in the Dania Beach Chamber of Commerce.
This investment will strengthen collaboration with the local business community, suppor t business recruitment and
retention and expand opportunities to promote Dania Beach as a destination for commerce and investment.
Budget Message
City of Dania Beach | FY 2027 CRA Adopted Budget Page 4
The CRA will continue advancing the Letters of Interest (LOI) process for CRA-owned properties. Our objective is to
identify qualified partners who can transform these assets into productive developments that eliminate blight and
create long-term public value.
We will also remain prepared to evaluate strategic property acquisition opportunities. An additional $15,500 has been
added to the prior-year allocation of $476,309, ensuring that the CRA can act when a property becomes available that
strengthens its redevelopment position.
Marketing, Partnerships and Economic Activation
The CRA will continue promoting Dania Beach as a destination for business, art, culture and entertainment.
Partnerships associated with For t Lauderdale Fashion Week, Dania Beach Art Week, the Casino at Dania Beach, MAD
Arts and other distinctive organizations will help attract visitors, businesses and investors. These initiatives will also
create opportunities for local businesses to reach new customers and expand their offerings.
Our objective is not simply to sponsor events, but to use partnerships strategically to generate economic activity and
introduce new audiences to Dania Beach.
Strategic Corridor Activation
Federal Highway and Dania Beach Boulevard are the CRA’s most important commercial corridors and primary
gateways into the city.
The FY2027 budget reallocates $70,000 from eliminated or lower-priority incentives to support business recruitment,
destination-focused programming and strategic economic development opportunities along both corridors.
Funding will also expand the beautification planter pilot program along Federal Highway and install wayfinding
signage welcoming visitors to the Arts and Entertainment District while directing them to the public parking garage.
These improvements will enhance the image of the corridors, improve access, support nearby businesses and create a
more inviting environment for investment.
Housing and Neighborhood Programs
The CRA will continue investing in programs that deliver meaningful benefits to residents. Through its partnership
with Rebuilding Together Broward County, the Agency has established two vital initiatives that strengthen homes,
improve safety and enhance the quality of life throughout the redevelopment area.
Home Beautification Program: During FY2026, the program completed improvements to 40 homes,
enhancing curb appeal and strengthening neighborhood character.
Safe at Home Program: Launched in FY2025, the program completed improvements to 50 homes during the
previous fiscal year. It provides safety and accessibility modifications that help older adults and residents with
disabilities remain secure and independent in their homes.
Business Growth and Entrepreneurship
Funding previously allocated to the Commercial Façade Grant Program will be redirected to two new initiatives:
Storefront Signage Grant Program – $50,000: Grants of up to $5,000 may assist as many as 10 businesses with
new or improved signage.
Mural Grant Program – $50,000: Grants of up to $5,000 may support as many as 10 businesses with murals and
qualifying artistic enhancements.
Budget Message
City of Dania Beach | FY 2027 CRA Adopted Budget Page 5
Together, these programs could assist approximately 20 businesses. They will improve storefront visibility, strengthen
business identity and contribute to a more distinctive and active commercial environment.
Conclusion
The FY2027 CRA Budget establishes a disciplined and results-oriented approach to redevelopment. It reduces
administrative expenses and redirects funding toward business growth, neighborhood improvements, corridor
activation and strategic investment.
Our responsibility is to ensure that every taxpayer dollar serves a clear public purpose. This budget honors that
responsibility while maintaining business recruitment and retention as core priorities.
With the leadership of the CRA Board and the collaboration of our CRA and City team, business community and
strategic par tners, we will continue improving the image of Federal Highway and Dania Beach Boulevard while
creating lasting oppor tunity throughout the redevelopment area.
With confidence in our shared vision and commitment to Dania Beach,
Candido Sosa-Cruz
City Manager and CRA Executive Director

The City ’s Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) was established in early 2002 to
revitalize areas adjacent to US1 and surrounding neighborhoods. In 2010, the City
Commission, with the CRA , expanded its boundaries after receiving approval from the
Broward County Commission. The City and CRA focus on attracting new businesses,
enhancing property values, and preser ving the City’s historic character.
To address slum and blight, as per Florida statutes (ss163, Par t II), the CRA launched the
Dania Beach PATCH community garden. This initiative fosters connections among
gardeners, educators, students, and researchers, promoting community engagement,
improved nutrition, and therapeutic activities. Community support was garnered
through public meetings with local leaders.

CRA Fund
The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Fund is used to suppor t initiatives
aimed at eliminating slum and blight conditions within the designated community
redevelopment area. These efforts can include infrastructure improvements,
beautification projects, public safety enhancements, and other activities that help
stimulate redevelopment and promote economic growth. Unlike many CRA programs
that rely on tax increment financing (TIF), this CRA does not receive TIF revenue.
Instead, all funding is provided directly through the City’s General Fund, which allocates
resources to ensure the CRA can carry out its revitalization goals effectively.

PATCH
People’s Access To Community Horticulture (PATCH™) was established in 2012 to create
an environmentally and economically sustainable urban farm within the community.
The initiative aims to develop a network of secure and healthy food sources through
the provision of naturally grown fruits and vegetables. The resources generated from
this initiative are utilized to effectively manage and maintain the PATCH, which is
financially supported by transfers from the CRA fund.
