Marketing <br />Fellsmere is working closely with both Chambers of Commerce to arrive at more <br />aggressive marketing techniques to promote tourism. Positive marketing resources include <br />Fellsmere's website, www.cityoffellsmere.org; Fellsmere's recent designation as a Scenic <br />Highway; and a willingness to network and explore new ideas with stake holders, land owners, <br />and business people. <br />Incentives <br />Fellsmere is trying to leverage every possible incentive that has a minimal fiscal impact <br />on the City, which will include the aforementioned Tax Abatement Program. <br />Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) <br />Mr. Nunemaker explained that Fellsmere's Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) has <br />expanded from 6 or 7 square miles to 42 square miles, a relatively minor portion, due to the <br />preservation of the historical one square mile of Downtown Fellsmere. He hoped that there <br />might be an opportunity to have Fellsmere and Sebastian team up to do some cross -marketing <br />involving their two CRA's. Mr. Nunemaker advised that Fellsmere was exploring the possibility <br />of participating in the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Brownfields Program, and <br />outlined some of the Program's benefits. He reported that the City is also reaching out to <br />alternative energy suppliers, and remains open to joint ventures which might be eligible for <br />United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) money. <br />12 <br />February 18, 2010 <br />Economic/Goal Summit II <br />
