BACKGROUND
In an effort to promote economic revitalization within blighted City of Miami
neighborhoods, the Commercial Facade Treatment Program was implemented, per
Resolution #88-384, during the 14th Year of Community Development Block Grant
Program.
Since that time, many business exteriors have been improved with respect to paint,
signs, awnings, etc., resulting in upgraded living conditions of the affected areas,
enhanced neighborhood services, and increased benefits to the community.
Therefore, it is requested that the City of Miami reallocate $100,000 from the YWCA
Expansion (705606) to the Commercial Facade Program (799602) and allocate C.D.B.G.
funds in the amount of $22,400.00 with the Allapattah Business Development Authority
receiving $11,200.00 and the Pierre Toussaint Haitian Catholic Center, Inc. receiving
$11,200.00 for the implementation of the facade improvement program of the following
