The Planning and Redevelopment Division created the Transit/Housing Oriented Redevelopment (THOR) initiative as a multi-disciplinary strategy to establish vibrant transit corridors throughout Broward County.

A primary goal of THOR is to protect existing residential neighborhoods by directing growth to adjacent transit corridors such as Broward Boulevard and US 441/State Road 7. The County is seeking ways to leverage public investments along transit corridors to attract private reinvestment and enhance the tax base.

Since the County is approaching buildout, developers are looking at underutilized land or blighted areas for future developments.

Through THOR, the County is taking steps to accommodate projected growth in a manner that maintains and improves the quality of life for its residents.
