The City of Bradenton, FL. has benefited from the Community Reinvestment Act over the years. We have done a lots in our poor and blighted areas, but we still have a lots that needs to be done. With the help of our local banks we can accomplish the improvements that are needed to make the improvements needed to bring the bad areas up to the same standards as the rest of the community. Please don't take away one of our most effective tool in improving our blighted areas by changing the Community Reinvestment Act.
