Business Spotlight Program

Discover Clearwater’s Local Gems!

The Clearwater Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) proudly presents the Business Spotlight Program—an initiative created to celebrate and promote locally owned businesses that contribute to the vibrancy and economic vitality of Clearwater’s redevelopment areas. Each month, a featured business is highlighted through storytelling, professional video, and digital promotion, offering the community an inside look at the people and passion behind these establishments.

From local services to dining, retail, and entertainment, the Business Spotlight Program recognizes businesses for their commitment, longevity, and positive impact. These features invite residents and visitors alike to explore, support, and discover the businesses helping shape Downtown Clearwater and North Greenwood.
