Overtown Community Development Meeting Scheduled

The City of Miami has announced a community forum focused on revitalization and development projects in Overtown, according to the city's official boards and committees page. The Overtown Community Oversight Board, accessible via miami.gov, coordinates efforts to engage residents on local planning. This forum builds on ongoing work by groups like the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency (SEOPW CRA), which is hosting a related community meeting detailed on seopwcra.com. Overtown residents can expect discussions on key projects, including recent developments like the 16 Corner grand opening celebrated by Miami-Dade County at a site near the neighborhood. The county's press release highlights this as part of broader community transformations. Additionally, events such as the Emerging Developers Conference, listed on qgiv.com, and workshops by the Overtown Children & Youth Coalition at overtowncyc.org, underscore active development dialogues. Specific locations matter for locals: The Children’s Village at Lotus Village, 219 Northwest 14th Terrace, Suite 403, Miami, FL 33136, hosts related collective impact workshops via Eventbrite. SEOPW CRA's community meeting, referenced on their site, invites input on neighborhood-specific plans. Miami-Dade County also launched a resident survey for development feedback, per their release on miamidade.gov. These gatherings allow Overtown residents to address street-level impacts, such as projects along Northwest 14th Terrace and nearby landmarks. The City of Miami emphasizes resident participation through the Oversight Board to shape equitable growth.

Officials urge attendance to influence decisions on housing, youth programs and infrastructure directly affecting daily life in Overtown.
