The Central Resort District Master Project program area is over 600 acres, extending from Atlantic Avenue to the east, Birdneck Road to the west, Laskin Road to the north, and 17th Street to the south.

The Central Resort District Bundle includes three CIP projects, which will be evaluated together to study hydraulic impacts within Beach Garden Park, Old Beach Neighborhood, and Central Beach.
