NEW BUSINESS MEMBER OPPORTUNITIES
We are excited to announce business member spotlights! Beginning in February, we will spotlight one of our business members once a month in the FRA eblast, on our dedicated social media channels and in our news clips.

If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity in the upcoming months, we would need a photo, contact information and a brief description about a service or project you have worked on with one of our FRA members.

This is free exposure to people who are in the redevelopment field! Please forward your information to our communications team.

NOTE: This offer is only available to FRA business members who are current with their membership. If you have not renewed your membership for FY 2021-22 and would like to do so, please contact jnewton@flcities.com or (850) 701-3622. 
2021 FRA AWARDS SPOTLIGHT:
OUT OF THE BOX
Congratulations to the City of West Palm Beach's Downtown Development Authority for winning the 2021 Out of the Box Award for a large community!

Located in Downtown West Palm Beach, a popular area for dining and shopping, Dining on the Spot works to provide a safe way for residents to dine at their favorite restaurants during COVID-19 while helping the restaurants generate business during this time.

The project transformed parking spaces, sidewalks and alleyways into functioning outdoor seating areas so that businesses could thrive. They also provided funding for equipment rental and marketing kits for participating restaurants to safely serve patrons.

To learn more about these efforts, please watch the Dining on the Spot video.
