BACKGROUND New City Administration Building This project is to construct Phase I of a new City Adminis- tration Building in the proposed Downtown Government Center between NW 2nd and 3rd Streets and from 2nd to 3rd Avenues. A master plan for the physical development of the Downtown Government Center has been prepared by local consultants to guide future construction of City, County and State office buildings in this area. The modern Miami Police Station and parking garage have already been built in the Center; Phase I of the State Regional Office Building is currently under construction; and architects have submitted designs for the Dade County Library, Art Museum and Historical Museum. At a later date, a second phase building of appro- ximately 15 stories is visualized. ANALYSIS The existing municipal administrative buildings at Dinner Key are remodelled barracks buildings, which are inadquate in size, deteriorating and poorly located to serve Miami residents. The Dinner Key Master Plan proposes to demolish these structures to make way for a major recreational complex in Coconut Grove. The proposed new City Administration Building will provide about 63,5 28 square feet of space to house many of the city departments and offices presently located in the Dinner Key area and in Downtown Miami. grace completed, the hew City Administration Building will occupy a key location in the Downtown Government Center, be in proximity to other governmental agencies, and it should serve as a catalyst for other public and private investments in the surrounding area. Funding is comprised of $3.2 million grant from the Economic bevelopment Administration; US Department of Commerce and $$00,000 from a 1976 Fire Bond Issue, the land is being provided to the City by bade County recognizing previous financial commitments.
