Transitioning
into Self-Sufficiency 2010-2014 |
The vision of Liberty
City Community Revitalization Trust is to
empower those who live, learn, work and play
in Liberty City to reclaim, transform and
rebuild our community.
To
ensure that the City of Miami short-term and long term
goals can be accomplished; the City
Commission approved Ordinance, No. 12859
that establishes Liberty City Community
Revitalization Trust ("Liberty City Trust")
that will sunset in 2010. This is a new
vision for the Liberty City / Model City
Community. The Liberty City Trust is
responsible for facilitating the
revitalization efforts in the new Liberty
City / Model City jurisdictional boundaries,
which expanded to include I-95 west to the
City of Miami boundary and SR 112 north to
the City of Miami boundary. Our goal is to
extend the vision of the Liberty City Trust
for a sunset year of 2014 through the
ownership of properties and development of
new businesses in the Liberty City area.

Strategic partnerships have
been established with various developers,
businesses and organizations in the community,
and in close association with City of Miami and
Miami Dade County to ensure that the quality of
life, services and safety for our residents,
businesses, and institutions is commensurate
with that of other well attended areas
throughout the city and county. (Please view our
"Partners" section of the website.)
The
Liberty City Trust will measure its goals by
collecting quantitative data that will detail
(1) the number of new home owners in Liberty
City; (2) the number of commercial and
residential properties built / rehabilitated;
(3) the level of increased participation by
residents in community based activities; (4) the
reduction of litter and illegal dumping in the
area; (5) our effectiveness in addressing crisis
situations in the community; and (6) the number
of completed special projects. In addition,
surveys will be conducted to ascertain the level
of satisfaction from our residents, businesses
and institutions on an annual basis.
This is a new day, a new vision and the Liberty
City Trust is working together with strategic
partners to improve the total quality of life
for our residents and our community.
