Allocation of Additional Funds for
Allapattah Business Development
Authority; Authorizing the City
Manager to Execute Amendments
ENCLOSURES City Commission Agenda of
October 26 1995
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
allocating an additional $50,000.00 to the Allapattah Business Development Authority (ABDA),
authorizing the City Manager to execute amendments to the individual economic development
and housing contract agreements in the amount of $25,000.00 each for Fiscal Year 1995-'96,
to be funded from Community Development Block Grant Funds Program.
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Resolution No. 95-413.1 adopted by the City Commission at the meeting of May
25, 1995 a total of $109,750.00 was allocated to ABDA for implementation of their economic
development and housing programs; a contract in the amount of $59,750 to carry out
economic development activities and $50,000.00 for housing activities.
In past years, ABDA has over achieved its economic development goals and objectives.
Allapattah has already completed 63 commercial facades to date for the current 1995-'96
Fiscal Year economic development contract and is currently working on 65 additional
businesses.
ABDA also provides neighborhood outreach services to the local business community. These
services include, but are not limited to, business recruitment, marketing and promotion, referral
service to other federal and county programs that are aimed at economic revitalization, and
business retention assistance andlor opportunities.
In addition, based on a need assessment of the Allapattah area; and specifically, to facilitate
the redevelopment of the area surrounding the rapid transit station, ABDA has taken upon
themselves to coordinate the revitalization efforts of the Produce Center. The Allapattah
Produce Center is the largest in the City, however, due to existing problems, the area has not
been able to grow to its potential.

Mayor and Members of the City Commission
ABDA will introduce and implement the City of Miami's commercial facade program to the
Produce Center area in order to preserve, upgrade and improve the appearance of the
district.
ABDA has also excelled in affordable housing activities. The Allapattah area housing
production had not kept pace with population increases resulting in a housing shortage and
over crowding.
ABDA completed Phase I of the Fern Isle Gardens Project. Phase I consisted in the
development of 25 townhouse units which have been sold out and delivered. ABDA is
presently engaged in the development of Phase II of the Project which encompasses the
construction of 27 additional townhouses, currently in progress.
In addition, ABDA is currently involved in the pre -development activities for the Rafael Plaza
Project. This development consists of the construction of 22 affordable townhouses and is
located on N.W. 17th Avenue and 38th Street.
In conjunction with the Allapattah NET office, ABDA will be able to expand its activities and
continue to facilitate the economic and housing redevelopment in Allapattah.
