BACKGROUND:
Program Objective: The North Magnolia Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) Commercial Property Improvement Grant supports a range of interior and exterior improvements to enhance the corridor's vitality and attract business investment. Funding is provided through the CRA trust fund consistent with the adopted CRA Plan and Florida Statutes (Chapter 163, Part III).
Property Information: This property consists of a commercial building constructed in 1939. It has a taxable value of $629,964, a structure size of 12,635 square feet, and is situated on a 0.63-acre lot. The building layout includes office spaces, bathrooms, and an open room area suitable for business operations. The owners acquired the property in May 2026 and have already completed some improvements. Property taxes are current and fully paid.
The building, which was the Coca-Cola Bottling Plant of Ocala, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and holds historical significance for both its architectural quality and contribution to the community's economy.
* Although the property is nationally recognized, its location outside any locally designated historic district means it does not require a Certificate of Appropriateness.
