Last year, we commissioned an independent research firm to survey 200 residents across the Arts & Entertainment district (A&E District), Brickell and Central Business District. What they found: people know and love Downtown Miami, but they're just not always aware of the agency behind it.

That tells us we're fulfilling our mission to grow, strengthen and promote the economic development and quality of life of Downtown Miami’s vibrant neighborhoods. It also tells us we haven't been taking enough credit for the work the Miami DDA has been doing. That's on us to change.

The A&E District, Brickell and Central Business District have undergone a dramatic transformation, but work remains to cement our place as one of the world's most dynamic urban cores. And we intend to do it.

Our Enhanced Services team works every day to address maintenance and cleanliness issues across , and community reporting helps us respond faster and more effectively.

Recently, concerns about roadway construction on SE 2nd Street in the Central Business District were reported by our team and quickly addressed. Within one day and with the support of Commissioner , the issue was escalated to the City, resulting in the road being repaved and restriped.
This is a great example of the importance of reporting, and how our collaboration with the City helps keep Downtown clean, safe, and running smoothly.
