Negra y Fuerte LLC is writing to request a construction grant in order to create a cafe & bar operation on the
ground floor of the Soleste Grand Central apartments. Negra y Fuerte is an Afro-Cuban inspired cafe & bar
concept that will service daily breakfast, lunch and an upbeat Happy Hour. Negra y Fuerte celebrates Afro-
Cuban culture and pays homages to the African ancestors that have played such a large part in cultivating the
Cuban culture that we know and love today. The menu will include Cuban coffee classics along with sweet and
savory pastries, and cocktails that highlight ingredients indigenous to Africa and are apart of Cuban tradition.
The current space is a vanilla shell that will need the construction of plumbing lines, electrical, fabrication of
furniture and design elements. The total projected cost of the project is about $500,000 and we are requesting
a $325,000 grant to assist in some of the construction costs.
This funding partnership will create to an increase within the neighborhood's economic development and
social diversity. Negra y Fuerte translates to black and strong in English, the concept is more than a coffee
shop, it is a unique space where we display the cultural identity of Cuba's black people that are often not
represented. The development of Negra y Fuerte will provide an increase of food and beverage options in the
neighborhood along with full-time hourly and salary -based job opportunities. Our mission is to provide an
elevated experience through training and hands-on involvement in the cafe's operations. We appreciate your
consideration towards this special business venture.

was reviewed for compliance with the submission requirements for the RFP, including the
verification that the proposal included all required documents. Mt. Zion has proposed a
development which will include affordable housing where 70% of the units will be set aside for
households that are at or below 60% of area median income ("AMP'), and 15 % of the units will
be set aside for households that are at or below 30% of AMI, all of which is in accordance with
the Updated Plan.
In August 2021, Mt. Zion intends to apply for 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credits ("LIHTC")

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Graham Ross Towers represents a unique community development opportunity in Overtown. The
Historic Mount Zion Baptist church has been a staple of the community for more than 100 years, and
this development would be the capstone on their long and storied history.
The proposed development is an eleven -story mixed -use building comprised of 122 elderly affordable
housing units, and 5,000 square feet of ground floor retail. The subject property will contain 208 parking
spaces within the first four stories, most of which will be available for public use. Amenities will include
covered parking, an exterior deck, and multiple common spaces.
The property will feature 12 studios, 96 one -bedrooms, and 14 two -bedrooms. 70% of the units will be
set aside for residents making 60% or less of the area median income, 15% set aside for residents making
30% or less of the area median income and the remaining 15% set aside for residents making 80% less
of the area median income. We will be applying for 9% Tax Credit financing and potentially SAIL funds
from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation.
