The Omni CRA expansion is part of a mega-deal that includes the expansion of the CRA’s bounds by more than 200 acres to include Bicentennial Park and Watson Island. Members of both the City and the County Commissions had doubts about various aspects of the CRA Expansion. However, Miami Science Museum has widespread community support and Museum Park will be accessible and enjoyed by everyone. A world-class park in this unique waterfront location will provide the appropriate framework for our Museum and is expected to have a major economic impact for the City.
I am really pleased about this important milestone and look forward to providing the County Commission with an extensive report on our progress. We’re moving ahead rapidly and are delighted the Commission voted to learn more as this is a major investment for the community. Museum Park will surely become an excellent central gathering spot for the community-at-large. We’re confident that the County Commission will continue to be pleased with our progress moving forward.
