NPR CRA’s Goals & Objectives Analysis – Fiscal Year 2026-2027 1 Goals & Objectives Analysis Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Florida Statute § 189.062 5

NPR CRA’s Goals & Objectives Analysis – Fiscal Year 2026-2027 2 City of New Port Richey Community Redevelopment Agency Fla. Stat. § 189.062 Goals & Objectives Analysis The mission of the City of New Port Richey Community Redevelopment Agency (NPR CRA) is to foster and directly assist in redevelopment of the CRA to eliminate blight, encourage economic development, and nurture an environment that supports the growth and retention of businesses, increases property values, and enhances the quality of life for New Port Richey residents. Relevant to those activities, state law requires that all public redevelopment activities expressly authorized by the Fla. Stat. Chapter 163, Part III - Community Redevelopment (§163.330-§163.463) and funded by tax increment financing must be in accordance with a redevelopment plan which is approved by the CRA’s governing bodies. The NPR CRA’s Community Redevelopment Plan (CRA Plan) was adopted in 1989 and last amended in 2019. The CRA Plan identifies “Goals & Objectives” within the Community Redevelopment Area with four primary areas of focus. The following "Goals & Objectives" are areawide in scope and encompass some of the more serious problems that are prevalent throughout the Community Redevelopment Area. The “Goals & Objectives”, which are described in more detail in 2019 Community Redevelopment Plan Amendment are: • Design: The Physical Environment • Economic Development: The Business Environment • Promotion: Image Creation • Organization: Outreach These “Goals & Objectives” align with Fla. Stat. §163 - Part III Community Redevelopment Act and provide the basis for the NPR CRA’s Redevelopment Activities. Fla. Stat. § 163.371 details reporting requirements for Community Redevelopment Agencies which must “file with the county or municipality that created the agency and publish the report on the agency’s website. The report must include the following information: (a) The most recent complete audit report of the redevelopment trust fund as required in s. 163.387(8). If the audit report for the previous year is not available by March 31, a community redevelopment agency shall publish the audit report on its website within 45 days after completion. 6

NPR CRA’s Goals & Objectives Analysis – Fiscal Year 2026-2027 3 (b) The performance data for each plan authorized, administered, or overseen by the community redevelopment agency as of December 31 of the reporting year, including the: 1. Total number of projects started and completed and the estimated cost for each project. 2. Total expenditures from the redevelopment trust fund. 3. Original assessed real property values within the community redevelopment agency’s area of authority as of the day the agency was created. 4. Total assessed real property values of property within the boundaries of the community redevelopment agency as of January 1 of the reporting year. 5. Total amount expended for affordable housing for low-income and middle-income residents. (c) A summary indicating to what extent, if any, the community redevelopment agency has achieved the goals set out in its community redevelopment plan.” On April 26th, HB 7013 was passed, and revises Fla. Stat. § 189.0694 by requiring all special districts, including CRAs (special dependent districts), to “establish goals and objectives” for each program and activity undertaken by the district by October 1, 2024. Further, requiring all special districts to create performance measures and standards to determine if its goals and objectives are being achieved. Also, special districts must publish an annual report, by December 1 each year, describing the goals and objectives achieved, as well as the performance measures and standards used by the special district to make this determination and list any goals or objectives that were not achieved. This document provides a summary of the methods which the NPR CRA utilizes to address the Goals & Objectives identified in the NPR CRA Plan as well provides an additional outlet to inform the public about the NPR CRA’s Redevelopment Activities. 7

NPR CRA’s Goals & Objectives Analysis – Fiscal Year 2026-2027 4 Identified Goals and Objectives for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 On an annual basis, the NPR CRA creates a Work Plan outlining specific projects and initiatives that the NPR CRA shall undertake to achieve goals and objectives that aim to resolve the “Goals & Objectives” stated within NPR CRA's Redevelopment Plan. Throughout the Fiscal Year, the NPR CRA will diligently work toward accomplishing the goals and objectives established herein to improve quality of life and continually improve overall from year to year. The NPR CRA’s Work Plan is presented in the following pages. The Budget for Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 maybe be found in Exhibit A. Performance Measures and Standards for Evaluation To measure and evaluate how the NPR CRA achieved the established goals and objectives as outlined in the annual Work Plan throughout the year, the NPR CRA shall review investments made throughout the year as related to the adopted budget. Additionally, increases in the property values shall also be reviewed to assess performance. These methods will provide a tangible and measurable indicator of achieved outcomes. Establishing a strategic framework for identifying goals, objectives, and performance measure evaluation, provides clear and consistent means for the NPR CRA to: • Satisfy the requirements of Fla. Stat. § 189.0694 • Supplement the Annual Report required in Fla. Stat. § 163.371 • Inform the community about CRA funding interests and intentions • Measure and evaluate the NPR CRA’s performance relative to the CRA Plan’s “Goals & Objectives” and Annual Work Plan By December 1, 2025, and annually thereafter, the NPPR CRA post an annual report our website as required by Fla. Stat. § 189.0694. 8

The CRA acquired the building from the City of New Port Richey last fiscal year. Through an RFP process, the CRA Board has directed staff to conduct the required due diligence to determine the suitability of the developer as a partner. Once having done, Redevelopment Agreements with the selected candidate will be negotiated and a recommendation related to these matters will be made to the CRA for consideration. The top-rated project is the Main Reserve which calls for the demolition of the existing building and the construction of a new facility to integrate a state-of-the-art Grand Hall conference and events center, a sophisticated full-service ground floor restaurant, and an upscale rooftop lounge. Included in the project would be a new city-owned parking garage. The goal of this project is to finalize a redevelopment agreement with the developer and have the developer purchase the property and commence construction this fiscal year. 11
