The District is governed by Florida Statutes Chapter 163, Part III and Chapter 189, as well as the Community Redevelopment Agency Plan that addresses the unique needs of the City’s redevelopment area.

The CRA Plan can be found in the Document Center, and includes overall goals for development/redevelopment activities as well as spells out types of projects and programs for the area.
Because the City of Cape Canaveral is financially accountable for the activities of the Cape Canaveral CRA, its governing board is the same and its relationship to the City is significant, its financial activities are reported on a blended basis as if it were part of the primary government as a major special revenue fund.

The CRA’s Fiscal Year (FY) is October 1 to September 30 of the following year.

The Financial Audit Report and the Annual Financial Report for each FY are included in the City of Cape Canaveral's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).
The CRA's Annual Financial Report can also be viewed on the Florida Department of Financial Services -Local Government Financial Reporting webpage.
