Where we are. What's next. What we need.

This is the live snapshot of the Martin County CRA Performance Tracking & Intelligence Platform engagement. Built for the County team and BusinessFlare team to share a common picture of progress, without navigating the deeper project tools.

Live analytical dashboard

Six districts. Four strategies. One platform.

Explore each CRA in depth: parcel-level tax base density, use mix, FY26 stated goals, and case study analyses for Mapp Road and Bridge Road. The dashboard is the analytical surface; this status portal is the engagement view.

How to read this: "time elapsed" is how far into the 18-week contract we are (week 6, so 33%). "Work done" is how much of the paid scope is complete, weighting each phase by its fee: Phase 1 done, Phase 2 data collection about 70% (a few of our-side pulls in progress), Phase 3 analysis about 77%, Phase 4 visualization about 60%, which comes to 50%. Work done is well ahead of time elapsed.

What we're working on this week

In flight

Phase 3 analytical synthesis

Cross-CRA comparative analysis, typology validation, fiscal analysis, commercial and residential real estate analysis, the Mapp Road and Bridge Road case studies, and a first-pass economic impact model. Delivered as a synthesis document plus the framework workbook.

Owner: KevinStatus: Drafted, in review

Live performance dashboard

Dashboard now carries live data on every district tab: year-over-year tax base, CIP commitment, permit activity, employment, and commercial real estate. Deployed and cross-linked with this status portal.

Needs County input

Placer foot traffic destination selection

The one external dependency holding a Phase 3 workstream. A short working session with Jordan and Dianne to pick which destinations within each CRA are worth tracking. Placer's polygon cap means we track points of interest, not full districts; some CRAs will have more, some fewer.

Residential sale-price and turnover

Done. Median sale price and turnover are computed per CRA from the tax roll, using qualified arm's-length sales joined to each district boundary. The residential measures now sit alongside the commercial real estate metrics in the framework.

What we need from you

Data that depends on the County

Most of the County data is already in hand. Going through the quarterly and annual reports gave us per-district permits, TIF revenue, the CRA Investment Program completions, the project lists, and engagement metrics. What remains is a short list of specific gaps: business outreach contacts, partnership counts, certificates of occupancy, the FY24 quarters, and a couple of confirmations. The FY26 goals-and-objectives document maps cleanly onto the framework's performance tier.

Performance tier: priority

CRA activity records, per district

Business outreach contacts; facade and small-business grants issued (count and dollars); public realm projects initiated and completed; community engagement events held; partnership agreements executed. This is the workload-and-activity data the framework's top tier is built on.

Source: internal CRA trackingHighest priority
Fiscal: optional confirmations

Per-district fiscal figures

The fiscal picture is built from what the County publishes: TIF revenue, per-district permits, infrastructure projects, and the adopted FY25 and FY26 TIF capital allocations. Fund balance uses per-CRA Assets from the Annual Report as a labeled proxy. There is no separate per-CRA operating budget, and the audited financials are consolidated across all six CRAs, so this is the complete public picture. Helpful if available: certificates of occupancy, and a check of our TIF revenue figures against your actuals.

Open item

Jensen Beach boundary

The Jensen Beach parcel set runs about 16% under the Annual Report figure, traced to a boundary acreage difference (roughly 57.5 GIS acres vs 67 reported). We have a question out to Dianne on the boundary history; resolving it clears the one validation flag in the dataset.

On our side

Next-phase data, in progress

This is work we own and are actively pulling. It does not wait on the County. These rows are open in the framework and being filled now from our own tools and public sources.

In progress

Economic profile, per CRA boundary

Business count, employment, average earnings, and industry mix are in from Esri Business Analyst, enriched against each CRA boundary, replacing the old zip-level proxy with true within-boundary figures. Net business openings is the remaining piece, pending a second Business Analyst report.

Esri Business Analyst, CoStar, LightcastOur work
Mostly in

Monitoring tier

Interest rates, Florida construction value, the insurance market signal, county population and income are pulled and sourced. Treasure Coast absorption (CoStar), a full permit-level developer scan (Accela), and two CRAs' flood-zone acreage are the remaining pieces. External context the CRA cannot control.

Public sources, CoStarOur work
In flight

Tangible personal property

Done. TPP value per CRA is pulled from the Florida Department of Revenue assessment roll and joined to each CRA boundary, the tangible companion to the real-property roll already in the framework. One caveat noted: a mixed Rio/Jensen Beach tax district that is read together rather than split precisely.

FL DOR / Property AppraiserStatus: Complete
Working session: pending

Foot traffic destinations (Placer)

The one our-side item that needs you: a short session to pick which destinations within each CRA are worth tracking. Placer's polygon cap means we track points of interest rather than full districts; your local knowledge tells us which destinations matter. Scheduled for the Monday workshop.

Next milestones

Early July
Week 7

Analytical peer review

Allison Justice reviews the Phase 3 analysis. Priority question: whether Rio holds in the Heterogeneous Infrastructure type, given its high tax-base density and low year-over-year growth contradict the type.

Placer destination working session

Short session with Jordan and Dianne to select foot traffic destinations per CRA. Unblocks the last gated Phase 3 workstream.

For the record

Recent methodology decisions

June 27
Open question: Old Palm City and Rio vacancy moved in opposite directions this year. Old Palm City vacancy fell 10.2% to 0.6%; Rio rose 1.9% to 9.2%. Whether these are connected or independent is not yet established. Flagged to check against transaction-level data before drawing any conclusion.
June 27
Rio's typology placement is the open question for peer review. Rio sits in the Heterogeneous Infrastructure type with Port Salerno, but its high tax-base density and lowest-in-portfolio year-over-year growth (+1.4%) contradict the type. The data raises it; the peer review settles it.
June 25
CRA typology framework adopted as working hypothesis. Four district types organize the analysis: Mature Residential (Golden Gate), Compact Commercial Downtown (Jensen Beach), Mixed-Use Corridor (Old Palm City, Hobe Sound), Heterogeneous Infrastructure (Port Salerno, Rio). Five of six validate against the data; Rio is under review.
June 24
Foot traffic methodology will be destination-level, not district-level. Placer's polygon size cap means we track specific points of interest within each CRA rather than full district boundaries. Destinations selected jointly with the County team.
June 23
Five of six CRAs validate to the Annual Report within 1.6%. Golden Gate, Old Palm City, Rio, Hobe Sound, and Port Salerno all match within methodology tolerance. Jensen Beach carries a 16% gap traceable to a boundary acreage difference (57.5 GIS vs 67 reported), still open with the County.
