Description
ESTABLISHED IN 2010, EGAD is an accredited Florida Main Street program, which is a subsidiary of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Created by the National Trust for Historic Preservation over 50 years ago, Main Street is a national movement to help local volunteers revitalize their neighborhood business districts. EGAD has one executive director and a Board of Directors that conduct the work through four committees, along with a passionate army of volunteers.
So many things are happening right now to further develop south Brevard’s oldest riverfront community into the area’s centerpiece for arts, shopping, dining and entertainment. With a 4 star hotel and public parking garage on the horizon, the dye is cast for EGAD to grow. Today, the EGAD area is red hot with commercial property values skyrocketing and developers from other markets looking hard at the possibilities. EGAD works to honor the area’s legacy while tempering growth with appropriate development and a creative expression.
