The Community Based Organizations (CBOs) have been the City's
primary outreach vehicles to assist the various neighborhood
commercial districts in addressing their economic development
projects. The Martin Luther King Economic Development Corporation
(MLKEDCO) has been under contract with the City of Miami for the
past two years for the purpose of developing and implementing
economic projects in the Model Cities/Edison Center business
district.
During the 1983-84 contract year, the MLKEDCO experienced various
problems related to the constitutionality of MLKEDCO's by-laws
which resulted in two different groups holding themselves to be
the duly elected representatives of this corporation.
