The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) meeting held on September 10, 2025, in Riviera Beach focused on key developments regarding local business involvement and the approval of the fiscal budget for the upcoming year.

A significant discussion centered around a project associated with local entrepreneur Tony Subs. Commissioner Joe emphasized the importance of including the Steele family, who have a longstanding presence in the community, in the project. He advocated for giving them the first opportunity to participate, stating, "We would like to work exclusively with the Steele family." This move aims to rectify past issues related to the project and support local businesses.

The meeting also addressed the adoption of Resolution Number 202519, which pertains to the financial budget for the fiscal year 2025-2026. The council discussed the inclusion of the mayor in budget-related decisions, with legal opinions being sought to clarify participation and reimbursement matters. The council members engaged in procedural discussions to ensure that all motions were properly handled before moving forward with the budget approval.

As the meeting concluded, the council agreed to continue providing updates on the project and the budget, ensuring transparency and community involvement in the redevelopment efforts. The next steps will involve finalizing the Request for Proposals (RFP) and further discussions on the budget, highlighting the CRA's commitment to local engagement and fiscal responsibility.
