Commissioners,
We thank you for your review and consideration of our application for RFQ 16-01. You
mentioned a few Critical Success factors for this project and I'd like to address how we intend
to achieve them:
• Create Jobs for Overtown residents through partnership with the Miami Culinary
Institute.
• Promote Overtown as a food and entertainment destination by pooling resource with
local event programming such as the SOBEWFF, Jazz and the Gardens, Art Basel etc.
• Provide new services and amenities for residents and tourist through our partnership
with Miami To Go, a local grown souvenir business that employs local people. As well as
create a Hall of fame or better described as digital wall of fame that is dedicated to the
exploration of Miami and historic Overtown's music history in partnership with the black
archives.
• Cooking/Business classes for residents, we would like to develop this concept of a family
night out, where we encourage local families to explore a night out in Overtown.
• Partner with local schools
including Booker T. Washington,
Sandra Peters
to bring families together during a
night where students can feature
menus, dishes and vegetables
from the btw garden.
• Strengthening and leveraging
relationships with local partners My fiance and I used to thoroughly
