In the heart of Miami, where Overtown’s rich cultural legacy meets the pulse of a growing city, a new era is unfolding. It’s a renaissance aimed at bridging the divide created long ago by I-95, restoring this historic Black neighborhood to its former glory.
On Aug. 28, 2025, the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency (SEOPW CRA) officially closed on a $175 million municipal bond, marking a historic moment for the community. Approved by the City of Miami in April and the Miami-Dade County Commission in July, the bond will finance an ambitious portfolio of projects, including affordable housing, infrastructure, cultural spaces and public amenities.
