STATE OF FLORIDA OFFICE OF TOURISM, TRADE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CITY OF MIAMI DENNIS HARMON, DIRECTOR, AUTHORIZED AGENT NAME: TITLE: DATE: DATE: a 9'-)= 874 CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA 9 INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM Honorable Mayor and Members DEC _? TO: of the City Commission DATE: FILE: ,4- Albert Ruder FROM: City Manager RECOMMENDATION: Acceptance of SUBJECT: Florida Brownfields Redevelopment Grant For City Commission REFERENCES: Meeting of 12/9/97 ENCLOSURES: Resolution It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to accept a grant from the State of Florida's Office of Tourism, Trade and Economic Development for a Brownfields Redevelopment Grant in the amount of $500,000. BACKGROUND: The City of Miami was awarded a regional U.S. EPA Brownfields Demonstration Pilot on June 13, 1996, with the demonstration project in Wynwood. Brownfields are abandoned pieces of land - usually in inner cities - that have real or perceived contamination from previous industrial use. The City's Wynwood Brownfields Pilot has moved forward and is near completion of the assessment phase. Most importantly, it has attracted an experienced brownfields developer and an end user for the site. Further, the 1997 Florida Legislature passed the Brownfields Redevelopment Act which encourages the redevelopment of brownfield properties. The legislation also appropriated $3 million to the Office of Tourism, Trade and Economic Development for brownfield redevelopment grants. Since the City of Miami was awarded a U.S. EPA Brownfields Demonstration Pilot prior to May 1, 1997, the City will receive a brownfields redevelopment grant in .the amount of $500,000. It is therefore recommended that the attached Resolution be adopted by the City Commission to authorize the City Manager to accept this grant from the State of Florida Office of Tourism, Trade and Economic Development. 7 9� 874 �
