ANALYSIS
The Florida Department of Community Affairs assists communities in meeting the challenges of growth and
investing in revitalization by creating a grant program that funds economic development studies in highly
urban or "infill" areas. Requirements for this funding include that the designated infill area has high
unemployment and is near or within a designated Main Street (Washington Avenue), a Community
Redevelopment Area (South Pointe), and a State Enterprise Zone Program. The targeted area, described in
Exhibit A, meets these requirements. There is no required match.
Another requirement for this grant is the collaborative participation of the community, stakeholders
in the target area and residents. The Economic Development Division has identified several existing
organizations from which a representative will be asked to attend visioning sessions for the infill
area. These organizations include, but are not limited to, the Miami Design and Preservation
League, the Miami Beach Community Development Corporation, the Washington Avenue Task
Force, the Miami Beach Police Department, South Pointe Advisory Council, the Community Action
Agency and the Transportation Management Association.
