Dear Mayor Clark:
The Greater Biscayne Boulevard Chamber of Commerce would like to
present you with the Chamber's logo which is a 2 1/21 x 41 framed
picture. If at all possible, we would like to make this
presentation at the next regular City Commission meeting.
�✓ At the same presentation, we would also like to present the
Chamber's latest multi -million dollar economic development project
called "MIAMI'S INTERNATIONAL VILLAGE AND MARKETPLACE" (M.I.V.).
Both presentations would require no more than 20 minutes. Many
supporters of this project would like to be present and have asked
to be notified of the presentation date.
Thanking you in advance for your time and consideration of this
matter.
(rSincerely,
Donald J. Hinson

THE PLAN
NAME OF THE ORGANIZATION TO PRESENT THE PLAN:
NORTHEAST COALITION FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (NCED)
Business name for the Project:
MIAMI'S INTERNATIONAL
VILLAGE AND MARKETPLACE
1. OUTLINE OF THE IDEA:
Miami is an international city! Let us take this fact and turn it into an asset not a problem.
We already have many ethnic backgrounds represented in this area. Let us use this rich resource
and match it with an idea that will bring about more improvements than we would have ever
dreamt could be possible.
The potential along Biscayne Boulevard and adjoining areas is wide open for development!
There are vacant properties all along the Blvd. corridor; vacant land for sale; buildings in and
throughout the area behind the Blvd. corridor vacant on both sides, especially from 87th to 79th.
We need a comprehensive plan with an overlay from 36th St. to 87th St. on the east and west
side of the Boulevard. This overlay would include the area west to the railroad tracks as a
commercial/mixed use area. There would be 10 or 20 ethnic "blocks" along the Blvd. starting
at 78th St. on the North end to 55th Terr.on the South. Biscayne Boulevard would be the
"front" or business "window" for these ethnic communities which would extent west to the
F.E.C. Railroad. At this location, where there are now warehouses, would become the
"INTERNATIONAL VILLAGEMARKETPLACE". This "Marketplace" would start at 79th
Street and end at Gist Street.
2. AMAIN POINTS TO CONSIDER:
* We can, if we join forces, come up with a marketing plan that will
"tie together" the ideas we all would like to see become realities.
* We can "drift along" with the decaying tide, or we can take charge
and build on the good that is all around us!

3. MAJOR SELLING POINTS Oh OUR PLAN:
a. Large portions of this area are in an economically depressed
condition allowing for development at rice that can't be matched
anywhere else in the city.
* We are in the center of a worldwide market of 700 million people.
(see enclosure)
4' In a state with a $31 billion tourist industry.
50,000 autos travel North and South on the Blvd. every day.
y` We have local customers/business potential already built in -
* Homeowners and residents that live in the area, with a middle to
upper class income driving 10 or 15 miles to another area to spelid
their money.
We have employers and employees already in place that live in the
Northeast area.
* The City, County and State would realize a tremendous tax base
increase
The value of property would increase far above its present value
* This "INTERNATIONAL VILLAGE" idea can spread all the way
to 1-95 and produce thousands of jobs.
* This partial list, out of a list of over (50) make up part of the
ethnic groups represented throughout Miami, as well as in this
immediate area:
Cuban
Japanese
Vietnamese
Haitian
Chinese
Jamaican
African
German
Indian
Polynesian
Swiss
Arabs
Korean
