The Wynwood BID adopted the following Resolution at its Board Meeting
on Tuesday August 5, 2014 :
WHEREAS, on August 5,2014 at its Board Meeting the Wynwood Business
Improvement District ("BID") Board met expressed its desire and full
support to rename North West 2nd Avenue from North West 20th Street to
North West 29th Street "TONY GOLDMAN BLVD". Tony Goldman, was a
true visionary entrepreneur, preservationist, restaurateur, hotelier, and
world class placemaker. Mr. Goldman's work reflects how he thought of
projects in terms of neighborhoods, focusing on commercial districts rather
than individual buildings. His love for the arts and historic architecture, as
experienced through the eyes of the pedestrians is palpable in all of his real
estate success stories — from the rebirth of SoHo in the 1970s and the
renaissance of South Beach in the 1980s to the launch of Miami's
Wynwood Art District in the 2000s. Tony had a knack for spinning gold out
of straw, transforming forgotten communities into the internationally
renowned destinations that we know today. Tony Goldman was the
catalyst for the reinvention and revitalization of the Wynwood Arts
District. As such, the BID board unanimously supports this tribute to Tony
Goldman.
