Recommendation
It is respectfully requested that the City Commission approve the attached Resolution
authorizing the Executive Director of the Downtown Development Authority of the City of
Miami, Florida to prepare and submit an application to participate in the "Florida Main Street"
Program .
Background
The Florida Main !Street is a program of the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical
Resources, which provides training and technical assistance to local organizations in support of
their efforts to revitalize their traditional downtown and neighborhood commercial districts.
While concentrating on revitalization of the community's historic commercial center, these local
volunteer -based programs enhance the economic vitality, quality of life, and civic pride of the
whole community .while countering sprawl and encouraging greater citizen participation in the
decisions that are shaping our future.
The Downtown Development Authority would like to prepare and submit an application for the
Central Business District (5th Street to the north, Biscayne Boulevard to the east, the Miami
River to the south and I-95 to the west). The program has developed a comprehensive
revitalization strategy that pairs thoughtful preservation of historical assets with sensible
business practices. The program helps in the downtown revitalization through economic
restructuring, organization, design and promotion.
The Downtown Development Authority will work in conjunction with the Downtown Miami
Partnership and the Dade Heritage Trust.
