Miami Gardens is planning to establish a community redevelopment agency and held a community workshop Monday where residents described what they want to see in the city and what issues they hope the plan will address.
The city wants to establish a CRA to bring in more tax money and to aid in redevelopment on major thoroughfares.
Estimates from Keith and Schnars, a Fort Lauderdale consulting firm, indicate that the CRA could provide about $16 million annually by the 30th year of the CRA. The total revenue could add up to $263 million by the end of the plan, around the year 2044.
The City Council voted to approve a CRA boundary that would include the Northwest 27th Avenue and Northwest Second Avenue corridors with State Road 826 linking the two areas. The area also extends northwest of Sun Life Stadium approaching County Line Road and south near the Golden Glades Interchange.
