I attended a meeting this morning held by Miami Beach planning committee. it is a preliminary program to help business owners on Collins between 73st and 75st. We are working together as a STEERING COMMITTEE doing extreme makeover offers to business owners in the area. We will be hosting a workshopat a later date to include economic benefits of good design. Our committee will be available to publicly encourage participation in the area about do's and dont's of window dressing. Our workshop will also include illustrations of signs,awnings and lighting. Typically this is an older area one block from the ocean needing a facelift!
Four individual business locations will be featured on TV on MBTV channel 77, for the most improved design. Our planning department staff will offer on site visits. there will be an open house in our local famous historical Band-shell at 73rd and Collins also known as AIA. for the community when the month of improvements will be over. CLEAN GLASS WINDOWS must be done to improve the area. Our extreme makeover committee members will be around to help direct the local businesses to ongoing tools to improve not just the facade but of course their business. The average traffic flow per day is approximately 50000 cars. pretty substantial for a one way street!!! I encourage all interested in my neighborhood to contact me. Oh yes, we are now looking for an interior designer from the north beach area that would like to get involved in our program.
