Little Havana Special Economic Development Initiative REFERENCES. City Commission Agenda r:NcLosuRes July10, 2001 It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution establishing the Little Havana Special Economic Development Initiative to assist businesses located on S.W. 8 Street between S.W. 4 Avenue and S.W. 27 Avenue and further allocating $50,000 for said purpose from the available fund balance of the Commercial Loan Program. BACKGROUND: The Little Havana Special Economic Development Initiative is designed to provide expanded assistance to businesses operating on S.W. 8 Street between S.W. 4 Avenue and S.W. 27 Avenue in an effort to stabilize and stimulate businesses located on this important commercial corridor of Little Havana Community Revitalization District. This Initiative is basically in an expansion of the existing Commercial Fagade Program in this targeted area. The Commercial Fagade Program is administered by community based economic development organizations funded by the City of Miami and provides grants to businesses throughout the City. Under the guidelines of the program, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are provided as a matching grant to local businesses. The grant covers 70% of fagade improvement costs up to $2,000, which represents a maximum grant amount of $1,400. The business owner is responsible for the 30% match of repair costs up to $2,000 and 100% of the costs above the $2,000 threshold. The Little Havana Special Economic Development Initiative expands the Commercial Fagade Program by increasing the threshold for businesses in the targeted area from $2,000 to $5,000 and reducing the match requirement from 30% to 20%. Under the guidelines of the Little Havana Special Economic Development Initiative, the grant will cover 80% of fagade improvement costs up to $5,000, which represents a maximum grant amount .of $4,000 and the business owner will be responsible for the 20% match of repair costs up to $5,000 and 100% of the costs above the $5,000 threshold, With the exception of the threshold and match requirements, the Little Havana Special Economic Development Initiative Except will operate under the existing guidelines of the Commercial Fagade Program and will be administered by the 01- 644 $11611010��: community based economic development organization saving the Tattle Havana Community Revitalisation District. To ensure that the Special Initiative does not have a negative funding impact on the Commercial Facade Program operating in other areas of the City of Miami as a result of increased funding in the targeted area, it is further recommended that $50,000 be allocated specifically to this project from the available fund balance of the Commercial Loan Program. It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the proposed resolution that establishes the Little Havana Special Economic Development Initiative to assist businesses located on S.W. 8 Street between S.W. 4 Avenue and S.W. 27 Avenue and further allocates $50,000 for this purpose f;om the available fund balance of the Commercial Loan Program.
