determine the scope and cost of renovating the space. Any agreement would have to come back to the Board
for approval.

Section III.B., at page 13, of the 1982 Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Plan, as
amended, lists "[m]aintain[ing] existing businesses and attract[ing] new business" as a stated redevelopment
objective.
