Martin Clark, speaking on behalf of Nomi Village, described the project as a build-out to more than double the site’s operational footprint and listed a scope that includes culinary-incubator containers (three commercial kitchens), an event pavilion tent and modular bar, perimeter fencing, lighting systems, entrance features, landscaping enhancements and site utility upgrades. Clark said the project’s projected total cost is $3,000,000 and that Nomi Village had invested more than $1 million of its own funds since taking on the site during the COVID period.

Clark said Nomi Village employs more than 40 people and that “80% of them have ZIP codes that reside within the North Miami area.” He also said the organization has commitments from event partners and is pursuing sponsorships and bookings, and mentioned past and anticipated partnerships including Southeast Food & Wine and a Formula 1–related opportunity.

Councilmember Charles proposed a friendly amendment on the floor to raise the grant from $1.2 million to $1.7 million to give the project additional cushion; that increase was not adopted. City staff and the CRA executive director explained that the $1.2 million figure reflects the CRA-eligible expenses identified in the applicant’s pro forma and a modest contingency, and that certain items in the applicant’s broader budget are not eligible for CRA funding. The executive director advised the board that raising the grant to $1.7 million would include costs the CRA cannot reimburse under its eligible-expense rules.

Staff also noted that 35% of the county tax-increment financing (TIF) allocation is legally dedicated toward Northwest Seventh Avenue projects; the CRA manager said approximately $1,700,000 remains in that Northwest Seventh Avenue line item at the time of the meeting, but that other commitments draw on the same allocation. Board members requested a report by late fall on drawdowns from a previously approved loan program and CRA reimbursements so the board could anticipate available cash flow for future awards.

Dilla Grant, a vendor at Nomi Village, told the board the market has been “a vital cultural and economic hub” that supports small businesses and helps build customer relationships, and asked the board for support. After discussion, Vice Chair Timothy moved to approve Agenda Item 3; the motion was seconded and carried 5-0. Several board members indicated the applicant may come back for additional funding if needed and that staff and city departments would work with Nomi Village on outstanding city obligations before additional disbursements.

The grant will be administered over three years with CRA oversight and reimbursement for eligible expenses as identified by staff.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CRA Meeting - 07/08/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The CRA approved a $1.2 million, three-year business rehabilitation grant for Nomi Village to expand its footprint on Northwest Seventh Avenue and fund a culinary incubator, event pavilion, lighting, fencing and site upgrades; board discussion considered, but did not adopt, a larger $1.7 million request.","taxTitle","North Miami, Miami-Dade County, Florida","taxId",12504,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6177669,"North Miami CRA approves $200,000 grant for volleyball academy",396,229000,625000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5335109-33e4f175d719b59153f56f19c17a29df&start=229&end=625","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5335109-33e4f175d719b59153f56f19c17a29df/thumbnail_229000.jpg","/articles/6177669/North-Miami/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/North-Miami-CRA-approves-200000-grant-for-volleyball-academy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6177669-2e2324891d24169f42147fb3d7a3e973/orig.mp4?Expires=1775387566&Signature=Yr3lZQTPN6AxKpcn4h1D5A5zDGTVVCuQpxkMNHBiov1X~yp-LNEcY1l2tkzlVmQJpl05u5lcl~8wIJqHvi0ebcIgJQsrDG8pwNoo0WPw4n8-ZLN~j45xpLfFC5~8SvzTFWWyuIrXZwAwJhyiupEGdQzw9P35~ZOmHv-QhakAwYUxFMIyoaC9Mrhyo60eLaq1JUPBh9ESFctw~NY7JfN8gIMqeOZ4u~843VbzKjMCSQrg~iLSX6-m4VezTSPybuHigDBA2rNKHwqX-lZVkx8QucBaISVpd3paucUXMWUEa9IA~uhznDiuHg~~ziXIIPuSy3F9A92jVXmNfdzNaVkJKA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Miami Community Redevelopment Agency approved a $200,000 business attraction grant to the North Miami Beach Volleyball Academy (NMB Volleyball) to convert a warehouse at 120 Second Street and 14th Avenue Northeast into a multi-sport facility.

In a staff presentation, Jimmy Joseph, commercial and capital project coordinator for the North Miami CRA, described the academy as founded in 2015 by Valerie Martinez and Dr. Jose Padilla and noted the organization currently fields about 32 teams and has more than 400 active players. Joseph said the academy participates in USA Volleyball and AAU tournaments statewide and nationally and brings tournament traffic and visitors to the area.

The proposed renovation would create four indoor volleyball courts, a gym, a training facility and an outdoor soccer field, with interior and exterior lighting, air conditioning installation, signage, landscaping and irrigation among the eligible improvements. Founder Valerie Martinez told the board the program plans to “offer family days” and “clinics for the youth and adults,” and said the academy collects addresses from participants to track local participation.

Vice Chair Timothy moved to approve Agenda Item 2; the motion was seconded and carried 5-0. The agenda record notes the project appeared before the advisory board the previous evening.

During discussion board members asked about the lease term with the property owner Prestige View; the applicants said the lease is seven years. Board members also questioned whether participants would include North Miami residents; Martinez and staff said the majority of the academy’s existing clientele are already from North Miami and that the academy records addresses to verify local participation. Martinez said the team is considering changing its public name from “North Miami Beach Volleyball Academy” to “North Miami Volleyball” to reflect its current location.

Because the board approved the grant, CRA staff will proceed with the grant agreement and reimbursement process consistent with CRA policy on eligible expenses.","The CRA approved a $200,000 business attraction grant for the North Miami Beach Volleyball Academy to convert a warehouse at 120 Second Street and 14th Ave NE into an indoor multi-sport facility; the board vote was 5-0.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6177675,"North Miami CRA tables resolution to rescind Redwood Dev LLC funding until Sept. 9",108,108000,216000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5335109-33e4f175d719b59153f56f19c17a29df&start=108&end=216","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5335109-33e4f175d719b59153f56f19c17a29df/thumbnail_108000.jpg","/articles/6177675/North-Miami/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/North-Miami-CRA-tables-resolution-to-rescind-Redwood-Dev-LLC-funding-until-Sept-9","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6177675-5c489641187f8d4bbc5a8394f764b6b2/orig.mp4?Expires=1775387566&Signature=AJRWTwd5sW-03tQEbGwwyJ2pQgyTBXx6I2bDM0lX9n~9KRiqnA2LPVN-VclmY2HvR-Vid~TeK9sPYjCflH81qtSXCyFSolijXHfnOUzo1riPOctD4qS42~pJfQCfroaP7Za7eXrGVBD98oo-xVRxigGd0LWEMss-poaerwOjbayTtjS6Ky8LrdAU1yNMa-c4Li3n-nbx7sXEVbkbYvJM8eR2QPRlhUGZNymgrlvQKTy6YIcKSRy7LhYp0IrQPxmw34Ov5FAS-BrAtE1EVnLDNRMvnXq~dDZZ-JtXcgUcqqp33qRopsoluFTGx4Nzhwj5iHKpQ6K5uQUe7xicgUyMjQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Miami Community Redevelopment Agency on a 5-0 vote on an item recorded as Agenda Item 1 postponed consideration of a resolution that would rescind funding for Redwood Dev LLC until the CRA’s next meeting on Sept. 9.

The resolution under consideration would rescind a previously approved tax-increment recapture incentive for a proposed multifamily residential and retail project at 1525 Northwest 130 Fifth Street, North Miami, Florida 33167. The incentive was described in the agenda language as a 50% tax-increment recapture of projected city ad valorem tax revenues for the life of the project until the North Miami CRA sunsets, “approximately 20 years.” The resolution would also have authorized the executive director and the CRA attorney to take actions necessary to rescind the incentive.

Board member Charles moved to table the item to the CRA meeting on Sept. 9; the motion was seconded by Board member Estime Irvin and carried 5-0. The board record shows the chair and other board members present and the item formally postponed rather than acted on.

Because the board only voted to table the resolution, no formal rescission or legal change took effect at the meeting. The agenda language identifies the mechanism as a tax-increment recapture incentive tied to ad valorem tax receipts; any legal or administrative steps to rescind the incentive would come only if the board takes the item up again and adopts the resolution.

The public record on the item at this meeting is limited to the board’s motion to postpone and the agenda text describing the proposed rescission. No public comment on this agenda item was recorded during the session.","The North Miami Community Redevelopment Agency on a 5-0 vote moved to postpone consideration of a resolution that would rescind a tax-increment recapture incentive for Redwood Dev LLC; the item was set for the CRA's Sept. 9 meeting.","actionData","errors"]
