Dear Dr. Ihekwaba,
Mr. Alexander Adams asked me to contact your regardingtmaintenance of state historical markers.
According to Rule 1A-48.003, Section 1 of the Florida Statutes, the Division of Historical Resources is
responsible of the maintenance of all state markers. If a marker is need of restoration or minor repairs,
you can inform our office and we will take care of it at no cost to you. The DI-IR has a contractor that
handles all of marker maintenance across the state.
When the time comes for maintenance, we will need photos of the marker in question, its location, and
a local contact. Our contractor will pick the marker up, take it back for restoration, and bring it back. It's
a pretty simple process.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thank you,

Dear Members of BID:
I am writing in support of the proposed historical markers for Coconut Grove. As you know, Coconut
Grove is Greater Miami's oldest community. Unfortunately, it has not always taken advantage of that
honor. Tourists love to visit historical sites but they must understand them to appreciate them. The
same is true of local residents who need to understand the importance of saving the Grove's important
historical sites. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Arva Moore Parks
Historian, Author and Preservationist
