RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Board of Directors
authorize the Executive Director to provide technical assistance and funding to George Sanchez
for the project "La Bendicion/The Blessing" in the Omni CRA Area pending the required
approval from FDOT.
BACKGROUND
The premier Basel Art Fair is being hosted by the City of Miami and the City of Miami Beach;
and for the first time this prestigious event is being held outside of its native Switzerland. Mr.
Sanchez met with the CRA on September 4, 2001 where he presented the recreation of the Villa
Savoye as a potential showcase of the Omni/Park West area of the City of Miami. This exposure
represents an initial conduit for investment in and subsequent economic development of that area
of the City. Mr. Sanchez has secured the approval of the FDOT as to the location and may
require additional authorizations from the City for the use of the location.
