RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission approve the attached resolution
allocating nineteen thousand, six hundred ($19,600.00) dollars to the Pierre Toussaint Haitian
Catholic Center, Inc., from the City of Miami Commercial Facade Treatment Program, for the
rehabilitation of fourteen (14) businesses in the Edison/Little River area. This is an on -going
project which has been funded since 1988 with great success in terms of revitalizing small
businesses serving low and moderate income neighborhoods. The total Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding approved for this City-wide project for FY 1997-98
is one hundred thousand ($100,000.00) dollars.
The recommended allocation of nineteen thousand, six hundred ($19,600.00) dollars will be
applied against the unspent project balance of one hundred thousand ($100,000.00) dollars.
Please note that the Commercial Facade Treatment Program project is implemented on a city-
wide basis through community based organizations serving each target area. Since the inception
of the Program, the City has assisted over one thousand three hundred (1,300) small businesses
by renovating and painting their store fronts.
BACKGROUND:
In an effort to promote economic revitalization within blighted City of Miami neighborhoods, the
Commercial Facade Treatment Program was implemented per Resolution No. 88-384 during the
14`' Year of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.
Since that time, many businesses exteriors have been improved with respect to paint, signs,
awnings, etc., resulting in upgraded living conditions in the affected areas, enhanced
neighborhood services, and increased benefits to the community.
