Downtown Titusville Friday Night Live

Greater Titusville Renaissance Inc., is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization whose mission is to embark on an exciting path of revitalization by celebrating our natural and historic resources, cultivating arts and culture, and energizing our economy in North Brevard County. GTR was formed by a group of concerned citizens of North Brevard who wanted to make a difference in their community. Lead by founders, Commissioner Robin Fisher and Mayor Jim Tulley, the organization has grown to several hundred volunteers and supporters coming together to actively participate in the regeneration of our community. GTR's major works are divided into four main programs: Business Development, Corridors and Beautification, the Arts and Culture, and Youth Programs. These committees led by volunteers from our community, are actively engaged in the planning, and implementation for a brighter future for North Brevard. Projects already in progress include the Annual Art & Algorithms Digital Art Festival, the partnership with Keep Brevard Beautiful with litter clean-up, the Titusville Entrepreneur Meetup Group, the Young Professionals for GTR, and the Youth Volunteer Development Initiative. And we have more programs in the works! We need you to join the Renaissance and help make it happen!

Business Development
|
|
The mission of the Business Development Committee is to encourage the commitment of leadership and resources toward creating a vital, livable, walkable community where business is supported and sustained, and where the character of the community (e.g. Nature, History, Space) is appropriately considered and incorporated, while seeking to enhance county and city economic development efforts.
The Business Development committee's pilot projects include: the creation an Arts/Entertainment District in downtown Titusville (from Julia Street to Garden Street) that, ultimately, connects with Sandpoint and Marina Parks and the purchase and rebirth of Miracle City Mall as a streetscape multi-use destination.
Where possible, we will first seek to maximize existing local businesses and add new concepts to create a vibrant, optimal marketing mix in the downtown district. Once this endeavor is successfully initiated, we will tackle other projects on the list below.
The approach to be used will be a Weed, Feed & Seed approach. While committee work may be done simultaneously, we will be disciplined and complete steps as sequentially as possible.

Corridors & Beautification
|
The Greater Titusville Renaissance Steering Committee recognized immediately that our corridors need improvement. Since these are the avenues by which our visitors first view our community, it is imperative that they present a "first-class" impression. The Corridor Committee portion of the Steering Committee decided to tackle three main corridors: Washington Ave (US-1), Cheney Highway (SR-50) and Garden Street (SR-406). In order to take best advantage of our initial group of volunteers, the team was divided into three sub-committees.
- Properties
- Medians and Landscaping
- Litter Control
The three corridor sub-committees offer volunteers a chance to make a real difference in our community. The ideas outlined above are only an early sampling of some of the actions that have been envisioned to date. Ultimately we will rely on the creativity, initiate and hard work of many dedicated citizens to bring vision to reality. The Greater Titusville Renaissance is not just about how we look; it is also about how we think about our community. Citizen concern and action will make the difference.
The Beautification Committee works together with Keep Brevard Beautiful North Chapter. Our projects include Adopt-A-Roadway Program, beautification of Sand Point Park US 1 entrance, and Keep Amercia Beautiful Trash Bash.

Arts & Culture
|
|
There is growing evidence that thoughtful investment in arts and culture initiatives can generate significant economic benefits for cities. With the right strategy and implementation we are working toward creating increases in property values, revenues and jobs. "Placemaking" is not just the act of fixing up a space, but rather a whole process that creates the kind of places where people want to work, live and play. Community input is essential to the placemaking process. "In creative placemaking, partners from public, private, non-profit, and community sectors strategically shape the physical and social character of a neighborhood, town, city, or region around arts and cultural activities" (National Endowment for the Arts).
This committee will focus on capitalizing on arts and culture, considering North Brevard's current assets, inspiration and potential. In order to understand our resources better and to foster successful social networks and initiatives we are recruiting local citizens to invest their time and talent in research, planning and moving forward with proactive, evidence based activities. Through deliberate fact-finding, research, and analysis, the ultimate success will be to create public spaces that promote health, happiness and wellbeing; encourage businesses and organizations to relocate and/or expand; and celebrate the uniqueness of our waterfront community.

The end of the Space Shuttle Program has brought an enormous challenge to the citizens of Greater Titusville, but not one that we haven't met and conquered before.
Greater Titusville is Open For Business! We are poised to become an economic engine in Central Florida with an eye to the future offering a unique business and social environment.

The North Brevard
Economic Development Zone
|
|
The establishment of an Economic Development Zone with tax increment funding will allow the North Brevard area to formulate and focus on a strategy for economic development and job creation that is desperately needed in the wake of Space Center layoffs. The tax increment revenues generated by the establishment of the Economic Zone would be administered by a dependent special district focusing on North Brevard and the Titusville community. Effective economic development incentives and community redevelopment requires the establishment of dedicated funding mechanisms. Our competitors do this and are succeeding! - Continued
