PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
In an effort to spur job retention and creation and support small businesses during these
tough economic times, the Southeast Overtown/Park West and Omni Redevelopment
District Community Redevelopment Agencies ("CRA") have created the Small Business
Economic Stimulus and Job Creation Grant Program ("Grant Program"), for qualified
small businesses throughout the Southeast Overtown/Park West and Omni
Redevelopment Areas ("Redevelopment Areas").
The Grant Program provides financial assistance, in an amount not to exceed $5,000,
for equipment and fixtures, interior renovations, insurance (prospectively purchased),
security systems, marketing and advertising, and utilities used at the commercial
property.
Qualified applicants are businesses that:
• have been in operation for a minimum of one (1) year (proof required);
• are located within the Redevelopment Areas and have a physical address as a
mailing address (P.O. Boxes are not acceptable);
• have no more than fifteen (15) full-time employees (NOTE: Two (2) part-time
employees equals one (1) full-time employee).
• present a current Occupational License or paid receipt.
• present a current Certificate of Use.
• are not delinquent in any fees or payments to the City of Miami or CRA, and have
not been in breach of any agreement with the City of Miami or CRA
Home -based businesses and non-profit corporations may not apply. Furthermore,
applicants that relocate outside of either Redevelopment Area during the consideration
of their application will be disqualified. Preference will be given to those applicants who
have not previously received funding from the CRA.
Successful applicants will be required to sign a Grant Agreement, submit all requested
documentation, and attend business training courses designated by the CRA.
