Great news! Our BID team has learned that Miami-Dade County Commissioner Raquel Regalado’s District 7 office is now accepting applications for the Mom & Pop Grants – a fantastic opportunity for local entrepreneurs. The program provides direct financial assistance to help small businesses grow, expand, and strengthen their presence in the community. Get details on the program here, and I encourage you to explore how this funding could benefit your business.

This grant is just one example of how we advocate for and support our businesses in the Central Grove. Many of you are familiar with our ongoing efforts to enhance safety, beautification, and marketing – creating a welcoming, vibrant district that attracts visitors and boosts business.

But our commitment goes even further. Through strategic partnerships and active engagement with City Hall, County Hall, and community stakeholders, we stay ahead of opportunities that can drive success for our businesses, including networking events, workshops, business development programs – and in this case, small business grants. We want to ensure that you remain competitive, innovative, and ready to adapt to market changes.

A strong, well-managed BID isn’t just about maintaining the status quo – it’s about helping businesses thrive, fueling local economic growth, and enhancing our community. We’re proud to serve you and always welcome your input.

Best regards,

Mark Burns
Executive Director
