It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission approve the attached resolution
allocating Twelve Thousand Six Hundred Dollars ($12,600.00) towards the City of
Miami Commercial Facade Program for rehabilitation of nine (9) businesses in
conjunction with business and property owners within the Pequena Havana target area.
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 14th Year of the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) 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 allocate CDBG funds in the amount of
twelve thousand six hundred dollars ($12,600.00) to the Small Business Opportunity
Center, Inc. (SBOC) for the implementation of the facade improvement program of the
following properties:
