Focus
Our agency was founded on the premise that the
average business owner of manager is more
profitable when they are free to focus their time and
energy on productivity that directly contributes to
the growth of the business.
Time Management
Today one of the largest demands placed upon a
business owner is the interviewing and screening
for qualified personnel, which ultimately results in
lost production time. This lost production more
often than not includes the cost of advertising for
potential employees, as well as the repetitive cost
of job related training for unskilled potential
personnel. These actions result in a large demand
being placed on business owners and their
managers, which directly effects daily
productivity.
Money Management
Industrial Personnel is our specialty, and as such we
assume the responsibility for paying ALL
insurance, taxes, and payroll pertaining to the
employee. We relieve the business owner of the
daily ongoing :responsibility of the cost associated
with maintaining efficient employees. To help
maintain efficient bookkeeping and budgeting
associated with your existing business, Labor
Power of America, will alleviate your business
from the direct and indirect cost to hire and
maintain your company employees. We have the
tools to help you eliminate distractions from your
prime duties and responsibilities. Reduce your
company payroll and administrative costs with

Sec. 628.1. Intent.
Village West Island District is of special and substantial public interest due to the unique role of
Grand Avenue and Douglas Road as the "Main Street" for the surrounding Village West Island District
Community and the unique Caribbean and Bahamian character and heritage of the Village West Island
District in general. For the purposes of this section. "Mainstreet" shall be defined as a principal corridor
of community activity. In order to promote its successful revitalization and restoration, this Special
Overlay District is enacted.

Bird Road and US1; on the east, 32nd Ave, south alleyway at the rear of Commodore Plaza, and Main

Avenue on the south and Day Avenue on the north;
(3) Residential Cultural District Overlay located within the SD-28 boundaries on
properties designated as R-1, R-2, and R-3 with exception to all R-2 lots fronting on
Grand Avenue.
The purpose of this Special District Overlay is to:
(1) Revitalize and restore Grand Avenue and Douglas Road as successful "Main

district, unique to the South Florida region.

Sec. 628.9. Architecture and Urban Design Guidelines.
The Architectural Regulations specify the materials and configurations encouraged for walls,
roofs, openings, and other elements. The Architectural Regulations are intended to produce visual
compatibility among disparate building traditions of South Florida and the Caribbean, thus inheriting a
suitable response to the climate. Because urban quality is enhanced by architectural coherence but is
not dependent on it, the provisions of the Architectural Regulations range from liberal to strictly
deterministic.The guidelines contained herein may be waived or modified by Class II Special Permit if
through the Class II Special Permit process the Planning Director finds that the requested modifications
result in a project that is consistent with the intent of this section. In a R-1 or R-2 District the Guidelines
are voluntary no waiver shall be required in a R-1 or R-2 District if the Guidelines are not followed.
