Schools of Tomorrow 041
No other city in the United States is like Miami. Since its foundation, barely 108 years ago, Miami has gone through times of turmoil and triumph. However, its increasingly diverse population has been able to turn a tourist oriented city into a glowing, cosmopolitan, international metropolis. A six-capital improvement program valued at more than 500 million dollars has been designed to bring sweeping infrastructure enhancement to every neighborhood in the City. The plan includes storm water sewer and drainage projects to mitigate flash floods during the rainy season. More than ever before, our parks have become a vibrant place for families to enjoy together. The summer programs in addition to sports have many other options for kids with artistic talents. Our Neighborhoods are more secure thanks to the “Quality of Life Task Force”, a combined effort of different municipal departments. This specialized team has been able to enforce the law and eradicate many illegal activities, as well as, remove thousands of abandoned and untagged vehicles from our streets. Looking to the future, we have “Midtown Miami” a 1.2 Billion commercial and residential development to be built in the Wynwood area, close to Little Haiti, Overtown, Allapattah and the Design District. Miami Midtown will be the cornerstone for the creation of jobs and economic development in those areas.
