The North Federal Highway Redevelopment Plan provides the framework for the future redevelopment of the North Federal Highway Corridor, located between NE 4th Street and the north city limits. The Plan was produced by the Community Redevelopment Agency and the City of Delray Beach. The overall purpose of the Redevelopment Plan is to capitalize on the strengths of the area and provide methods to deal with the weaknesses.
There is tremendous redevelopment potential for the North Federal Highway corridor. It is the next logical expansion of the downtown revitalization efforts. Major public expenditures downtown have strengthened the entire area and created a positive atmosphere for private investment. As a whole, the area is significantly underdeveloped. Vacant properties and buildings provide opportunities for redevelopment, evidenced by recent reinvestment in the area with the construction of new housing and commercial businesses.
Given the current trends, it is probable that the Corridor will recover and be redeveloped without much governmental intervention. It should be the private sector rather than the public sector that is the driving force behind the redevelopment initiative on North Federal Highway. The role of the public sector is to provide direction, remove obstacles, and promote the area.
