A 6.1 magnitude earthquake hit offshore Cuba on Tuesday, causing shaking buildings in Havana, but there is no reported damage in Crystal River or surrounding areas of Citrus County. The earthquake occurred around 10:30 a.m. local time.
The City of Crystal River is focusing on its own development, rather than the seismic activity in the Caribbean. The city is planning its next 30 years of redevelopment. A series of community meetings have been held to gather input from residents on what they would like to see in the city’s future. The city wants to create a vibrant downtown area with mixed-use development, improved infrastructure, and enhanced recreational opportunities.
The redevelopment plan will focus on several key areas, including the city’s waterfront, downtown commercial district, and residential neighborhoods. The plan is expected to be completed by the end of the year and will guide the city’s growth and development for decades to come.
Residents can continue to provide input on the plan through the city’s website or by attending future community meetings. The city is encouraging everyone to get involved and share their ideas for Crystal River’s future.
