What is the CRA goal?
On June 9, 1998 the City of Miami passed a resolution,
introduced by Commissioner Arthur E. Teele, Jr., designating
the "Historic Overtown Priority Business Corridor" that
incorporates NW 4th Avenue east along 8th Street to NW 3rd
Avenue (D.A. Dorsey Way) and then north to NW 14th Street.
This designation gave the CRA the direction to plan activities
and to initiate development for the overall commercial
revitalization of Overtown.
In 1999, the City further approved a 5-year funding plan of
$25 million in CDBG funds. In September 2000, the first two
(2) million dollars was made available to the CRA for this
project. With the addition of other resource funding (Tax
Increment Funds, City of Miami general fund contributions,
and parking lot revenues) the CRA has developed a
comprehensive plan to stimulate economic development,
provide quality housing, make capital improvements to roads,
lighting, sidewalks, security, landscaping, fencing and to
promote historic preservation. Thus far, the CRA has primarily
concentrated its efforts on the NW 3rd Avenue Business
Corridor (co -designated D.A. Dorsey Way).
Current projects are prioritized to stimulate growth of the
customer base of existing businesses to create additional jobs
and spark the further expansion of commerce in the area. An
important aspect of this project is the construction of four
parking facilities along NW 3rd Avenue. These parking lots
will add additional public parking spaces that will enhance
commerce to existing businesses by providing their patrons
with convenient and safe access to their establishments. .
Preservation of noteworthy structures will help to revive
the area's once vibrant and historic cultural significance in
attracting tourists and visitors.
The CRA Plan for the redevelopment of NW 3rd Ave.
includes land use study and re -configuration to create
financially sound and environmentally balanced development.
The overall goal of the CRA redevelopment program is to make
Overtown the number one job creation center in South Florida
and the premiere destination to the inner city where, once
more, visitors will be attracted from across the nation to a
place where history runs deep, diverse cultures converge, and
the entertainment never ends ... Destina�t"9n OvertoM.
