SUBJECT: Resolution designating State Road A1A, within Dania Beach, as a
Florida Scenic Highway.
The Broward County State Road A1A Scenic Highway Corridor Advocacy Group has requested
the participation of the City of Dania Beach in the support of State designation of State Road
A1A as a scenic highway in Broward County. State Road A1A runs through the City of Dania
Beach east from the barrier island, west along Dania Beach Boulevard, then north along Federal
Highway/US 1. The Florida Scenic Highways Program is designed to showcase outstanding
cultural, historical, archeological, recreational, natural and scenic resources along Florida's
highways. The program is a grass roots effort to heighten awareness of our State's history and
intrinsic resources.
The Florida Scenic Highways Program process is divided into three phases: 1) Eligibility, 2)
Designation and 3) Implementation. The State Road AIA Scenic Highway designation is in the
Eligibility phase of this process. This phase involves forming a Corridor Advocacy Group (CAG)
to develop and Eligibility Application. As part of that application, a resolution from each
municipality is required.
Several of the benefits that designation as a Florida Scenic Highway offers a community is
identified below:
• Recognition of the significance of a corridor's resources.
• Community pride and promoting designated corridors as community show places
State and National recognition of corridor on state maps, brochures and through the
Florida Scenic Highways Program and national Scenic Byways Program web site.
• Collaborative marketing program for designated corridors that provides corridor
brochures, maps and promotion of corridors and their resources.
• Tourism generating, therefore enhancement of local economy, and educational
opportunities for visitors on corridor story and community history.
® Potential increase in priority for receiving grant funding
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the resolution supporting the designating State Road A1A as a Florida Scenic
Highway.

Florida Scenic Highways Program
Monetary Benefits
Dated: May 25, 2000
One of the most tangible benefits that designated Florida Scenic Highway Corridors have received has come
in the form of grant monies awarded for specific actions and implementation activities along the corridors.
In some cases,the State Program has applied for and received grants that were used to support specific
corridors as well as to support the program in general. In other cases, individual corridors applied for and
received grants.
There is a great opportunity for designated corridors to pursue funding to help fulfill their Corridor Visions
and implement their Corridor Management Plans. Corridor Advocacy groups and Corridor Management
Entities are encouraged to pursue appropriate grants given their status and the availability of federal, state,
local and private funds. Although designation as a Florida Scenic Highway does not guarantee that grants
will be awarded, past history associated with the Florida Scenic Highways Program has shown a high
likelihood of success.
To date, both the State Program and designated Florida Scenic Highways Program corridors have pursued
and received the grant funding listed below:
