In April of 2023, the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners granted the City of Largo Community Redevelopment Agency development authority to prepare an updated Clearwater-Largo Road Community Redevelopment District Plan. in September of 2023, thanks to a federally funded American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant, the city secured the consulting services of Kimley-Horn and Associates to conduct a community analysis and prepare the new  Clearwater-Largo Road Community Redevelopment District Plan. The Plan will establish the framework (projects and programs) for future decision making and guide the long-term growth and development of the CLR-CRD.
