CCEDD’s work spans a range of efforts designed to support coordinated improvement across the corridor. This includes long-term planning, infrastructure alignment, and partnerships that advance redevelopment and investment in key areas.
Each project reflects a different stage of implementation, from early planning to active construction and ongoing partnership development. Together, they represent a coordinated approach to strengthening the corridor over time.

The Cortana Corridor Economic Development District is a public entity created to reinvest locally generated tax revenue into projects that strengthen the area surrounding the former Cortana Mall and nearby corridors. CCEDD focuses on coordinated, long-term redevelopment that benefits surrounding neighborhoods, businesses, and the broader district.
CCEDD uses a portion of sales tax revenue generated within the district, including activity associated with major redevelopment such as the Amazon distribution facility. Those funds are reserved for reinvestment within the district and are used to support planning, infrastructure, redevelopment, and community-serving projects.
CCEDD is governed by an independent board appointed by the Mayor-President and the District 6 Council Member. Investments and major actions are reviewed through public meetings and follow applicable governance, procurement, and ethics requirements to ensure transparency and accountability.
CCEDD invests in a range of projects aligned with adopted plans and district priorities. These include planning efforts, infrastructure improvements, catalytic redevelopment projects, housing, land banking, and partnerships that support economic vitality and community benefit.
Residents can follow CCEDD’s work through public meetings and project updates. Businesses and development partners interested in working within the district are encouraged to review current projects and adopted plans, including the Florida Corridor Plan, which guides how reinvestment decisions are evaluated.
