Exhibit B
GRANTEE APPLICATION
C R A
Omni CRA Emergency Business Microgrant
In response to the COVID-19 epidemic and Miami -Dade Emergency Order 03-20 and 07-20, closing all
non -essential businesses and limiting the activities in businesses allowed to remain open, the Omni CRA
has appropriated $1,000,000 to be used for immediate relief of economic distress for small businesses.
This funding will be made available as a grant of up to $25k for eligible businesses, and can be applied to
mitigate costs associated with the pandemic. Because the CRA has previously engaged in an extensive
campaign to foster walkable ground -floor activations, particularly focusing on retail, restaurants, and
other businesses that depend on foot traffic which are heavily impacted by COVID-19 quarantines and
closures, these businesses are particularly vital to the healthy redevelopment of the neighborhood. In
accordance with Florida Statute 163 Part III, the grants are not available to businesses outside of the
CRA redevelopment area. The goal of the program is to provide businesses located within the CRA
redevelopment area with immediate financial relief to avoid the blighting influence from permanent
closures due to temporary coronavirus restrictions. These grants will provide financial assistance to help
small businesses with meeting basic obligations such as rent, payroll and utilities, and to remain viable
over the term of Emergency and during the Reopening. This grant aims to help leverage other public
assistance programs and private dollars, encourages businesses to maintain their labor force during
lockdown and after the Emergency Order is lifted.

CRA
Emergency Business Microgrant Award Criteria
The Omni CRA's mission to prevent conditions giving rise to slum and blight, to reduce crime, and to improve
the quality of life for residents and visitors to the Redevelopment Area, makes the Business Improvement Grant
Program an important tool in improving the district. Grants are generally awarded on a rolling basis as funding
permits and the program is renewed each fiscal year.
Omni CRA's Emergency Business Microgrant Applications are reviewed by CRA staff and recommended to the
Executive Director for award based on a set of criteria, including but not limited to neighborhood of the
business, specific commercial corridor of business, ownership of the property, historical track record of the
business owners, employment projections and/or track record of the business, ability for business to attract
visitors to the neighborhood, long term vision and connection to the neighborhood, ability of business to serve
unmet needs of residents and stakeholders in the neighborhood, activation of underutilized spaces throughout
the neighborhood, previous grants awarded to and projected aesthetic or street level improvements, as well as
how impacted the business has been by the emergency closures and changes in economy due to the
Emergency.
Each project application is judged by the Executive Director on its individual merits, and how it fits into the
CRA's dynamic vision for improvement of the neighborhood.
