Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA)
The North Miami Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) public purpose is to eliminate and prevent the development or spread of blighted areas, improve property values, improve the public infrastructure, and prevent or reduce incidents of crime. The agency is a successful partnership between the City of North Miami Beach and Miami-Dade County. The CRA operates within the Redevelopment Area. The CRA will sunset on October 11th, 2028.
Brewery District
The City Commission improved the Redevelopment Area in January 2018 by modifying the zoning districts to welcome microbreweries, microdistilleries, and microwineries. In doing so, North Miami Beach created Florida's 1'st Brewery District.
