TO: Chair and Board Members
FROM: Michael Chen, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Administrative Report
1. DANIA BEACH INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM
Background: An Innovation Ecosystem has different platforms to support entrepreneurs and
early-stage ventures. The Dania Beach Innovation Ecosystem includes:
• Education
• Location & Events
• Mentorship
• Incubation & Acceleration
• Funding
• Talent
Updates:
In collaboration with SCORE Broward, the Dania Beach Business Academy is providing a 4-

2. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

of the prestigious Oklahoma University – Economic Development Institute. Most recently,
Krystal was the Business Assistance Administrator, a manager level position for the Ft
Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE), where she was the administrator Foreign Trade Zone #241
(countywide authority) and the leasing manager for the 1,000-acre FXE campus and 200-acre
Industrial Airpark, including 2,000,000sf of office/warehouse space.
3. SPIRIT AIRLINES QTI/HIPI INCENTIVE
Background: On September 10, 2019, the CRA Board approved Resolution No, 2019-CRA-020
committing to pay the ten (10%) percent Local Financial Support (LFS) required by the State
QTI and HIPI programs as an incentive to Spirit Airlines to relocate a new headquarters and
operations facility to the Redevelopment Area at the Dania Pointe. The Spirit Airlines
headquarters project qualified for both the QTI program (150% average wage $4,000/job) and
the HIPI bonus program ($2,000/job). The project location qualified for a Brownfield bonus
incentive ($2,000/job, State only). The CRA’s LFS commitment represents a total of $135,000,
payable for FY2023 to FY2030. Broward County also has a ten (10%) percent LFS.According to
the Greater Ft Lauderdale Alliance analysis (IMPLAN PRO), the Spirit Airlines project is
forecasted to have the following impacts:
• Capital Investment: Approximately $173,420,000 over three years for property
purchase, development, and construction (2019 $).
• Job Creation: 225 new hires over 5 years, with an average salary of $78,854 (direct 225,
indirect 132, induced 135 = 492 total jobs), and 853 retained jobs.
• Job Creation Output Impact: $87,988,239 over five years from Direct, Indirect, and
Induced Jobs (2019 $).
• Estimated Taxable Value (City): $208,750,000.
Update: On October 24, 2024, Florida Commerce Division of Economic Development
notified Spirit Airlines that based on their 2023 funding application, independent
research, and supporting documents, Spirit was approved for their full QTI/HIPI
($112,500 – State, County, CRA) and Brownfield Bonus ($37,500 – State only)
incentives for FY2024/25. The approved funding will be released upon receipt of the
Broward County and Dania Beach LFS payments. Based on their analysis, in 2023 Spirit
Airlines actual achievements include:
o New Jobs: Required Jobs 75 / Actual Jobs 214
o Wages: Required average $78,854 / Actual Average $109,569
On October 28,2024, the Florida Commerce Division of Economic Development submitted an
invoice to the CRA for our ten (10%) percent of the LFS, in the amount of $11,250. The required
local funding match of $11,250 has been processed for payment.

(money that is earned at Love Our Nation by doing something extra ordinary).
The Youth had a complete banking experience.

Seniors addresses and begin planning for the December event. LON will also begin
planting lettuce in our Hydroponic system which will be served at the Love Our Nation
End of the Year Luncheon.
• Raised Bed Construction: Construction of the 64 new raised beds has been challenging.
Compressing a 3-year project into 4 months is not just building faster. We also had to
deal with finding vendors, complying with purchasing policies, arranging deliveries, and
the weather. A long stretch of abnormal heat warnings shortened the afternoon workday
and several days of heavy rain wiped out the entire day. We also expanded the scope of
work by adding a complete rebuild of the irrigation system and building a second
nursery. In spite of the challenges, all of the 64 new raised beds are complete, and
irrigation system is complete. Seedlings have been started in the nurseries and will be
transplanted to the raised beds in the next few weeks.
• Crops being planted in the new beds include: Arugula, Kale, Basil, Tomatoes, Cilantro,
Oregano (Italian & Cuban), Cabbage Savoy, Mizuna, Tokyo Bekana, Cauliflower,
Mizuna, Italian Parsley, Premium Greens, Collards, Komatsuna (Japanese Mustard
Spinach), Hon Tsai Tai (Asian Green Leaves), Eggplant, Swiss Chard, Carrots, Pac Choi
(Chinese Cabbage), Beans, Radish, and Mustards. Collards, Basil, Oregano, Mixed Salad
Greens, and Lemongrass. Cabbage, Beans, and Tomatoes could be ready for sale by the
“second week of December.
• The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation (FTPF) is an award-winning international nonprofit
charity dedicated to planting fruitful trees and plants to alleviate world hunger, combat
global warming, strengthen communities, and improve the surrounding air, soil, and
water. FTPF has provided a grant to TFF for 100 fruit trees at a TFF farm. Some of those
trees will come to the PATCH and the planting will take place on December 14th. One to
two fruit trees is planned for each raised bed. This will expand the PATCH growing
season as fruit trees tend to do well during the summer.
The success of this project is a direct result of the efforts of Bianca Bacarossi, our Lead Farm
Coordinator, Jamie Castoro, Fruitful Field Executive Director, Noah Siegel, Fruitful Field Farm
Manager, with the administrative support of Denise Greenstein, CRA Executive
Assistant.During the month of November, the PATCH had 32 volunteers. (Recent photos

Memorandum
DATE: 12/10/2024
TO: Chair and Board Members
FROM: Michael Chen, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Commercial Façade Grant: 24 NE 1 Avenue
Request:
Approval of a Façade Grant application for 24 NE 1 Avenue in an amount of $25,000.00 or 50%
of the actual cost as evidenced by paid receipts, whichever is less.
Background:
24 NE 1 Avenue (BCPA 5042 34 04 0050) is owned by Joseph Chehebar, dba 24 DANIA, LLC,
a Florida Limited Liability Corporation. The property is a mixed-tenant retail center.
.
The Project: Joseph Chehebar is updating the building with a fresh look to attract community-
based tenants and improve the neighborhood environment. The façade improvement project
includes the installation of new impact windows and doors. The Owner is also going to paint the
building and replace the awnings, but these items are not included in or covered by this Façade
Grant Application.
The renovation cost for the windows and doors are estimated to cost from $52,177 (Downy
Glass) to $71,250 (Mr. Tiger) (two estimates). The Façade Grant application is seeking
$25,000.00, representing our program limit for a 50% match of the estimated project cost. The
owner’s share of the construction costs will be self-funded.

TO: Chair and Board Members
FROM: Michael Chen, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Potential Disposition of a CRA-Owned Land Parcel - 137 NW 4th Ave
Request:
Florida Statutes 163.380 requires a published notice of the CRA’s interest in selling a CRA-
owned property prior to disposition of any real property or interest therein. It is requested the
Board authorize the CRA to publish such public notice and initiate an RFP process for the CRA-
owned site at 137 NW 4th Avenue. The Site encompasses 5,421sf (0.124 acres).
Background:
Interested Party: On October 17, 2024, the CRA received a letter from Love Our Nation (LON)
expressing an interest in developing children’s center on the CRA-owned property at 137 NW 4th
Avenue (BCPA ID# 5042 34 01 1190).
Love Our Nation is a nonprofit 501c3, established in the State of Florida in 2013. Their mission
is to educate and empower youth with life skills that will enable them to be healthy and
productive contributors in creating a more prosperous and loving community. The key initiatives
of LON are focused on the areas of Health, Education and Preservation of the Environment.
Love Our Nation has served the Dania Beach Community since 2015. This began with the Earth
2 Table gardening program at C. W. Thomas Community Center and The Dania Beach PATCH;
and then expanded to an after school safe zone resource to support children with homework
assistance (through the help of volunteer tutors), health and nutrition (in partnership with
FLIPANY and Loafing Around), dance classes and wellness (in partnership with Developing
Dream Foundation ), and financial literacy (in partnership with SUN Credit Union), golf classes
(with 1st Tee of Broward).
Attachments: Love Our Nation letter of interest

Dear Mr. Chen,
I’ve identified a property, (137 NW 4th Ave, Dania Beach, FL 33004 Folio# 5042 34 01 1190)
that is owed by CRA and I’d like to discuss with CRA how this site can be used to support
the children in Love Our Nation and neighborhood programs. In the past 2 (two) years,
For the Love Of Our Nation Corp., DBA Love Our Nation (a nonprofit 501c3 Florida
Corporation) has developed an ever increasing relationship with the PATCH.
Love Our Nation has been working with the beautiful youth and their families of
Dania Beach, specifically the CW Thomas corridor since 2015. We have a free afterschool
program that follows the Broward County School calendar Monday thru Thursday,
2:00PM-5:30PM (Fridays optional swimming). This program provides life skills to our
beautiful youth by offering daily healthy snacks at the beginning and end of the program,
Homework help, Tutoring, Therapy, Financial literacy, Cultural programs, Quarterly Senior
Fresh Fruit & Veggie Bicycle Distribution, The Arts (music, dancing, acting etc.,), Martial
Arts, Golf, Summer BreakSpot (free healthy hot dinner), Gardening, and Composting held
at the PATCH.
We are aware of the daily emotional, economical, and financial challenges that face our
youth and their families. With the knowledge gained through our consistent engagement,
we have and continue to be a dedicated part of the solution that will enable our youth to
break the cycle of poverty and despair to become productive adults in Dania Beach and
Beyond.
In conclusion, Love Our Nation humbly asks for your guidance towards the next steps
regarding this land, while we continue to pursue enhancing the lives of the youth and their
