The Brownsville Redevelopment Plan, originally adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in 1997 and updated in 2004, was designed to facilitate positive transformation, preservation, and revitalization of the neighborhoods in the designated Brownsville Redevelopment Area. The Brownsville CRA offers a wide array of commercial and retail uses along five commercial corridors which include Mobile Highway, Pace Boulevard, "W" and "T" Street and the northernmost section of New Warrington Road.

Brownsville CRA neighborhood meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month at the Brownsville Community Center, located at 3200 W. De Soto St.
