Every year, the Florida Redevelopment Association (FRA) recognizes the best in redevelopment in the State of Florida in ten categories. This year, the FRA has chosen the Port St. Joe Redevelopment Agency’s “Historic Banner” series to receive the “Cultural Enhancement” award. This is a state-wide program, and we are thrilled to be in the company of major Florida cities who enter this yearly competition. PSJ will also be featured in the FRA’s “Best Book” publication, with photos and description of the banners.
