BACKGROUND: In the 2002 legislative session, the Florida State legislature passed Senate Bill 1906 that authorized the amending and expansion of the Enterprise Zone in the Little Haiti community and the Miami River Corridor with a limit of four square miles. The eligibility criterion for Enterprise Zone expansion is that a census tract or specific block groups have a poverty rate of at least twenty percent. Miami -Dade County, the responsible jurisdiction, began the process of determining eligible areas by requesting recommendations from the City. The City provided recommendations that expanded the boundary 3.86 square miles and maximized the areas within the City. The City recommendations were subsequently incorporated into the proposed boundary revisions. The boundary revisions will be presented for adoption to the Miami -Dade County Commission on September 24, 2002 and forwarded to the State of Florida by an October 1, 2002 deadline. By adopting the recommended areas, businesses will be able to access the State Enterprise Zone program that offers incentives that encourage job creation. Staff is currently evaluating the feasibility of incorporating other areas of the City into the Enterprise Zone. These additional areas will be presented to the State at the upcoming legislative session. FISCAL IMPACT No fiscal impact. A- qC7 CAG/DB/ARW/KC/BS g -:�. A
