Today, Allapattah represents the largest industrial area in the City. It is also home to one of the City's primary economic engines, the Civic Center. Because of its central location in Miami -Dade County and proximity to downtown, the airport and seaport, the Allapattah NDZ offers an opportunity for the City to further promote its community and economic development strategy. The following is a list of areas of opportunity for growth within and surrounding the Allapattah neighborhood. 20th Street Merchant's Corridor: The Merchant Corridor is located between 27`h and 17`s Avenues (and is also the Allapattah NW 20th Street CBC). It is well known for its multiple garment manufacturing and wholesale retail outlets that attract buyers and international exporters, especially from Latin America and the Caribbean. Civic Center: The Miami Partnership, a joint plan between the City of Miami and the University of Miami (UM), calls for the pooling for resources and economic leveraging to implement a neighborhood master plan for the Civic Center. In addition to UM's Jackson Memorial Medical Center, the Civic Center is home to many assets such as the Veteran Medical Administration Center, Cedars Medical Center, the Richard Gerstein Justice Building, the State Attorney's Office, the Miami -Dade Community College Medical Campus and the Linsey Hopkins Technical Education Center. These and other establishments bring hundreds of medical students to the area, as well as tens of thousands of people who visit or work in the Civic Center area. The plan envisions restoring natural areas and greenways, creating an entertainment and living complex, establishing an outdoor marketplace, improving the transit stations, and creating a diverse mix of housing for students, senior citizens, and families.
