Oeveloflmwnt, Ina, MCDI Since the approval of the Little Havana/Latin Quarter Development Ilan in 1984 the City of Miami has been pursuing a. multi -faceted strategy to stimulate redevelopment in the Little Havens area. Today, some six (6) years after the plan's adoption, the Little Havana area continues to exhibit a number of physical and social maladies which have inhibited its transformation into a vhowcase of Hispania culture in Miami which would attract visitors and tourists on a twenty-four hour basis and help to revitalize the neighborhood. In an effort to stimulate the redevelopment of the Little Havana area, MCDI Le proposing to implement a Little Havana Business Development Program (LHBDP) on behalf of the City of Miami. The purpose of the LHBDP is to aggressively promote the retention of existing and the attraction of new business investment into the Little Havana area. This program will provide financial assistance to businesses located or locating into the Little Havana area.. for the principal purpose of financing the acquisition or improvement of real property essential to the operational or' expansion needs of the business. The program will provide direct ,loans of up to $1O0.0o0. at a fixed interest rate of 6,A for a fixed term not to exceed 11years. These ' !d! 1 loans are only available for business -related real estate acquisition end/or improvement. Moreover, in order to'facilitate private bank partiaipati.on in the redevelopment of the Little Havana area, all loans under this program must be matched/Leveraged as followal (a) loans up to S5O,000 must be matched on a "one to one" (i:l) basis by a bank loan; and (b) loans over $50,000 must be matched on a "two to one" (2%1) basis by a bank loan (e.g. $2 in bank money for every $1 loaned by MCDI. To reduce the risk of the bank's participation, MCDI will subordinate its loan to the bank. This program will be funded for a total of 81,000,000 by% (a). "reserving" 0200,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDEG) funds already allocated to MCDI for the City of Miami Revolving Loan Fund, and (b) the City of Miami's; appropriation of an additional $800,000 of CDBG funds to MCD11a City of Miami Revolving Loan Fund. It is projected that this special impact program will result in the implementation of 10 business development projects, at an average of. $100#000 each from MCDI, involving the acquisition and/or improvement of real properties in the Little Havana urea. Based an the required leverage ratio, this program will attract private funds of 41 million - 02 million (not including the business owners's equity injection), for a total public/private economic investment in commercial real estate development of 02.0 million - 03.0 million. In offering this proposal MCDI fully recognizes the magnitude of the 3 effort required to make the Little Havana redevelopment project a i atucceaw. Therefore, in addition to funding the LHBDP, MCDI recognizes } that the City of Miami must continue to support redevelopment efforts t f 1n little Havana by: j 90-- '951 a (1) Promoting the development of new and the rehabilitation of existing single and multi -family housing to keep pace with the area's population growth and to attract middle and upper income, and younger households.
