Development cycles and the timeline for major park improvements within the Omni CRA means that there are an unusually high number of vacant parcels, as well as many new residents and visitors looking for places to relax outdoors.
COVID-19 Pandemic has increased this need at in 2021 the Board authorized a Green Space Initiative to improve vacant and blighted lots, to furnish plumbing, electrical, restrooms, and ADA access.
Each grant will also create new jobs and activates areas to improve economic vitality, safety and comfort.
