CRA board approves Lyric Point Amid Other Efforts
Two small businesses in Overtown will expand their operations in the historic district thanks to Board Chairman Jeffrey Watson and the Southeast Overtown / Parkwest Community Redevelopment Agency (âSEOPWâ) (âCRAâ) Board of Commissioners. The build-out has been approved for 7,000 square feet of leased and/or commercial space at Lyric Point. The development is a new two-story, 55,000 square foot commercial building located at 101 NW 8th Street in the heart of Overtown. Directly aligning with SEOPW CRAâs goal of creating jobs within the community, the new build-out targets commercial and cultural ventures that will provide life sustainable jobs to residents in the Overtown community. The SEOPW CRA will enter a 10-year net-lease in the amount of $280,000 annually to offset cost for Overtown businesses, including the Overtown Business Resource Center, Lil Greenhouse Grill, and other retail space.

Zagat, the most trusted name in restaurant discovery, has officially relaunched. The all-new digital-only platform is designed to improve upon the current state of user-generated content by emphasizing trust, curation, and utility timed perfectly to meet the moment after a historic year for the restaurant industry.
As of today, Zagat s new digital service is available exclusively for Miami, FL restaurants and diners. As the new product is in its first stages of launch the company plans to roll out additional features as Zagat expands to more cities across the country in the months to follow.
The new Zagat will look familiar, and have the same goal as the original guide, but it will also have a few new features that sets it apart:
2020 was a character-building year filled with a lot of adversity but a lot of diversity. The scariest part of going through a pandemic is the unknown. We cooked for first responders. We started shipping across the country. We ship direct through our website with baking instructions. We now deliver mac and cheese to Brooklyn and Los Angeles and Tallahassee. We never would have thought to do that if not for the pandemic. Sometimes you get into your comfort zone and comfort kills. What I m grateful for is that the community has come out for us, and I haven t fired or laid off one single person.
