We are working to be able to unlock to generate more public schools for this area,” stated Covo.
“We are thankful for (Omni CRA) Chairwoman Covo’s leadership and are strongly encouraged by the action taken by the Board of Commissioners of the Omni District Community Redevelopment Agency to reinitiate the collaborative efforts necessary to advance a comprehensive strategy for innovative public-private partnerships aimed at developing board-owned property located within the CRA’s boundaries. This partnership not only holds the potential for the redevelopment of the district’s assets, but it could also bring forth improvements and opportunities for the community overall including additional educational seats, affordable/workforce housing, increased public parking, and other infrastructure improvements. Leveraging our collective assets and resources will maximize what can be accomplished on behalf of the youth, families and residents we are all charged to serve.”
