Dade County is holding a special
meeting to advise the property owners and businesses
on NW 7th Avenue of a study that has been concluded
that will affect all the businesses and property
owners north of 143rd Street to approximately 163rd
Street.
This study is called "A
Finding of Necessity" that sets the next step
of planning for a Community Redevelopment Area.
There will be planners as well as Dade County
officials at the meeting to explain the CRA and the
effects on the Community. A CRA allows the people of
that CRA to direct a certain portion of their tax
money for their areas future development. Also it
gives the people of the CRA certain discretionary
administration, by having representatives sit on the
CRA Board.
The meeting will be held at Banco
Popular - 13490 NW 7th Avenue at 5:30 pm on Monday,
July 12, 2010.
The CRA for the South part of 7th
Avenue (119th St. - 79th St.) will be the host for
the above meeting by holding their regular meeting
at the same venue. We will open our meeting and
quickly go to the report for the upper part of the
7th Avenue. The reason this is happening this way
is, because the CRA for the North part of the 7th
Ave. is in District #1 and the existing CRA in the
South part of 7th Ave. is in District #2 and #3 and
the north section would piggy back with the existing
one to create a larger CRA.

On a sad note -
Kash Mohammed who ran Kay Business Services
died. Kash and his family have been members for 20
years. He run his business at NW 7th Ave.
and 107 St. and was in business for 33 years. He
was well respected with the community and will be
missed. The family will continue the business and
we wish them all the best at this moment of their
lives.
Also - This
past week we lost Bob Hews of Bob Hews Boats. Bob
was the inventor of the Flat Fishing Skiff back in
1966 and he enjoyed quite a reputation among
anglers. His family have been members of our
organization since the beginning. Bob had a
business in several places throughout Miami, but
his oldest location was in 125th St. and 7th Ave.
His family will also continue the business.
Out thoughts and
sympathy goes out to both families.
