Margate encompasses approximately 9.2 square miles and is home to nearly 105 acres of parks and operates their own bus transportation system. They recently celebrated their fiftieth anniversary in 2005 and see much success and growth in our future with the efforts of their Community Redevelopment Agency. The City Commission created the Margate Economic Development Advisory Board on April 6, 1994. After extensive research the board recommended the creation of a Community Redevelopment Agency. The CRA has undertaken several successful activities in the past few years including landscaping of the commercial corridors, architectural design guidelines for building renovations, façade grants, landscape grants, and new business recruitment. As a result, the tax base has grown, providing additional revenues to support future redevelopment activity.

There is always something to do in or near Margate.
