Regional Context INTRODUCTION ESTABLISHMENT OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY The Downtown Kissimmee Community Redevelopment Area (CRA), which is generally defned by Vine Street to the north, John Young Parkway on the west, and Lakeshore Boulevard/Drive on the southeast (see Figure A), was KISSIMMEE established in 1992. The 1992 Redevelopment Plan laid the foundation to eliminate conditions of blight that were identifed through the Finding of Necessity report. The 2003 Plan Update identifed projects and initiatives to facilitate the continued redevelopment of the CRA. It laid the grounds for the signifcant accomplishments that occurred that decade, such as initiating improvements to Lakefront Park; completing streetscape improvements along Monument Avenue, Dakin Avenue and Sproule Avenue; the construction of City Centre (Public-Private Partnership); the establishment of the CRA Overlay District and standards; and more. The 2012 Plan Update continued building on that same vision while also refning the community districts established in the 2003 update (renaming them Strategic Investment Areas) in order to shape the Downtown’s future growth by incorporating contemporary planning principles, including compact transit-oriented development, mixed-use buildings, energy effciency strategies and economic policies to support local job growth. HISTORICAL CONTEXT The City of Kissimmee, like most cities in Florida, has gone though periods of growth and prosperity interspersed with periods of economic instability. The opening of Disney World in the 1970s brought exponential growth to the City. In one decade alone, the City grew by 118%. That growth, however, was followed by a decline that hit the downtown and the Vine Street corridor particularly hard. The following pages contain a timeline showing the various successes and challenges faced by Downtown Kissimmee over the past several decades and how the creation of the Downtown Kissimmee CRA has helped revitalize the Downtown area.

Stevens: The Railroad Depot: A Photographic Essay THE RAILROAD DEPOT: A PHOTO ESSAY by R. Randolph Stevens From 1830 through the 1950s railroads were the tie, the sinew, that bound our country together. Pioneers first traveled by using the lakes and streams. Eventually, roads were cut, canals dug, and finally track was laid to connect the seaboard towns and cities with the interior of the country. This transportation revolution had little effect on Florida until after the Civil War when two Yankee railroad builders, Henry Bradley Plant and Henry Morrison Flagler changed the landscape of central and south Florida. Their investments and foresight brought ribbons of track down the west and east coasts over the next few years, sparking an economic boom. In 1883, Plant’s South Florida Railroad came into Tampa, and the west coast began to grow in earnest. Before long twin rails extended down to Venice, Boca Grande, Naples and Everglades City.

  • 4.0 Historical Overview
    4-1 4.0 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW The following overview traces the historical development of the general study area from the European settlement through the twentieth century. The intent of this overview is to serve as a guide to field investigations by identifying the possible locations of any historic cultural resources within the project area and to provide expectations regarding the potential historic significance of any such sites. It also provides a context with which to interpret any historic resources encountered during the study. 4.1 European Contact and Colonial Period (1513–1821) Three Native American ethnic groups were known to inhabit east central Florida at the time of Spanish contact: the Ais, the Mayaca, and the Jororo. The Ais lived along the Atlantic Coast and were closely involved with the Spanish. They inhabited the coastal strand and Indian River areas at this time. They apparently mixed indigenous hunting/gathering/fishing economy with the salvaging of Spanish shipwrecks (Milanich 1995:64-65). The Mayaca and Jororo peoples occupied an area from north-central Florida to as far south as Lake Okeechobee (Mitchem et al. 1998). The earliest contact between the native populations and the Europeans occurred through slave hunting expeditions. “Slaving expeditions,” which provided workers for the mines of Hispaniola and Cuba, were not recorded in official documents as the Spanish Crown prohibited the enslavement of Caribbean natives. Evidence of these slave raids comes from the familiarity with the Florida coast stated by navigators of the earliest official coastal reconnaissance surveys (Cabeza de Vaca 1922: Chapter 4). The hostile response of the native population to expeditions during the 1520s may confirm this hypothesis.

The study chronicles the town’s origins and economic, political, and social development in relationship to the broader historical theories of southern urban development, specifically those put forward in David Goldfield’s pioneering work, Cotton Fields and Skyscrapers: Southern City and Region 1607-1980. Goldfield contended that southern cities developed differently than their northern counterparts because they were not economically, politically, philosophically and culturally separated from their rural surroundings.

  • The Tampa Bay Hotel
    The Tampa Bay Hotel By JAMES W. COVINGTON On August 20, 1885, Tampa obtained direct railroad connections with the North for the first time. Due to the excellent business acumen possessed by Connecticut-born Henry Bradley Plant, this heretofore sleepy Gulf Coast village was able to take full advantage of the bounties furnished by Mother Nature and various industries about the bay began to flourish.' Of course, Tampa had been a port since the early days of Fort Brooke, established in 1824 but a port without suitable river or railroad connections with markets cannot prosper at all. As soon as the local and state businessmen realized what an economic boost had been provided by the railroad and bay connection, they took quick advantage of the several opportunities which had been sitting like rows of ripe corn waiting for the harvest. First on the scene were the fish and oyster companies which needed rapid transportation for their products to the markets in the East and Middle West. Next came the ice plants to supply ice for the fifty thousand pounds of fish which were daily shipped to various points. Next came Gavino Gutierrez in search of guava trees which were 1 The available accounts concerning Henry Bradley Plant include S. Walter Martin, "Henry Bradley Plant," in Georgians in Profile (Athens, 1959) and G. Hutchinson Smyth, The Life of Henry Bradley Plant, (New York, 1898). Plant laid the founda- tion for his fortune with the Southern Express Company business and invested part of his profits in Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida railroads.

  • U.S. Railroad Retirement Board
    FOM1 Art 2 Appendices Appendix A - Prior Service and Red Cap Service Development and Adjudication A1. Prior Service Defined Prior service under the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) means service performed before 1-1-37. Service performed before 1937 may be credited only if, on 8-29-35, the employee met the conditions for an Employment Relation (ER) described in Appendix C of this chapter. A2. Red Cap Service Defined A person who rendered service as a redcap or other station attendant before 9-1941, and whose duties consisted of carrying hand baggage and assisting passengers’ stations, received credit for all such verified service even though he received no remuneration from an employer for such service. a. 1937 Railroad Retirement Act Under the 1937 Railroad Retirement Act, redcap months prior to 9-1941 were treated as prior service months and the redcap compensation was included in the prior service average. b. Under the 1974 Railroad Retirement Act The 1974 Railroad Retirement Act changed the usage of redcap service and compensation after 12-1936 and before 9-1941; these months were then used as subsequent service. However, the amount of the average redcap compensation for those months was still determined as in 1937 Act cases. A3. Maximum Number of Prior Service or Red Cap Months a. General - The number of months of prior service or red cap service that may be included in an employee's years of service is the difference between 360 and the number of months of creditable service after 1936. The prior service or red cap service months are counted in reverse order beginning with 12-1936 depending upon availability of service records and verification of service.
