RE: SMCRA FY 2008 -2009 Proposed Budget
Honorable Chair, Vice Chair and SMCRA Board Members:
During the 2007 -2008 Budget Year, the South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency
( SMCRA) continued to focus on implementing significant redevelopment initiatives throughout
the SMCRA District. One of the Agency's primary redevelopment projects is the proposed
mixed -use, economic development and affordable housing project, Madison Square. -Based on --
prior approvals by the SMCRA Board and Miami -Dade County Commission, the Agency
obtained a 2.73 Million Dollar bond to purchase properties required for development. The
Agency has now completed acquisition of the site having acquired 67,000 square feet of a
potential 70,000 square feet. The project is currently awaiting a mixed -use land use and zoning
change required for development.
During the 2007 -2008 Budget Year, the Agency also continued to appropriate funding for major
redevelopment projects including: 1). Over $400,000 for major streetscape and infrastructure
improvement projects along key arterial roadways in the SMCRA including SW 59th
Place /Church Street) Streetscape Improvement Project, SW 66th Enhancement Project and the
Sunset Drive Streetscape Improvement Project; 2). Approximately $100,000 for preliminary
construction and contractor selection for renovation of the SMCRA owned Mobley Building for
start-up business, community service providers and recreational office space; 3). $50,000 for the
design of the Murray Park Pool and Aquatic Center; 4). $24,000 for the installation of street trees
and landscaping along major arterial roadways in the District; 5). Approximately $20,000 in
grant funding for start-up businesses and for residential rehabilitation projects; 6). $25,000 for
the purchase of blighted parcels and property conveyance to non - for - profit developers to
facilitate additional affordable housing opportunities in the District; and 7). $23,000 to facilitate
professional job training courses for existing community residents.
During the upcoming 2008 -2009 Budget Year, the Agency intends to continue to fund major, on-
going redevelopment projects including final construction of the Mobley Building. The SMCRA
Board has also directed a renewed focus on acquiring existing blighted properties to provide
additional affordable housing opportunities and home ownership in the SMCRA and to improve
existing conditions through the continued improvement of existing dilapidated infrastructure in
the District. At this time, we respectfully submit the FY 2008 -2009 Proposed Budget which
includes a description or year accomplishments, proposed revenue and expenditure
breakdown t e 8/09 Pro sed Budget in Miami -Dade County format.
