^ Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado is starting to turn into a real jerk opposing this project including not wanting to fund the Tri-Rail extension to the All Aboard Florida station as well.
The Overtown / Park West section has had the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) for decades now & the Government has failed to attract investors to the area even building the Miami Arena for the Heat then selling it & having it demolished while still paying off the debt.
It's basically a dead zone between empty warehouses , a few nightclubs, the homeless & drug dealers a few blocks to the west in one of Miami's roughest neighborhoods.
It seems to me that the residents who oppose this project are the ones who live in wealthy condos along the Biscayne wall fronting Biscayne Blvd. yet they put up with the Ultra Music festival every year.
God forbid investors want to turn this moribund area of Miami which sits just a couple of blocks north of the NAP Center of the Americas into a 10-acre district meant to attract major technology companies to the Park West neighborhood that would bring thousands of high-paying jobs to Miami.
His shortsightedness as Mayor is unbelievable!
