The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) of the City of North Miami authorized a $200,000 business attraction expansion and rehabilitation grant for the North Miami Beach Volleyball Academy and approved a $1,200,000 grant to Nomi Village LLC over three years to expand a mixed-use community site.

The volleyball grant will support development of a centralized youth training facility at 12200 Northeast 14th Avenue, the CRA said. The proposal includes a strategic partnership with League 1 Volleyball intended to position North Miami as a hub for professional volleyball and a youth-to-pro development pipeline.

Nomi Village’s approved grant is part of a larger project with a total estimated cost of about $3,000,000. Planned improvements listed in the presentation include a culinary incubator in container units, an event pavilion tent with a modular bar, perimeter fencing, lighting systems, a new entrance feature, landscaping, site utility upgrades, permitting costs and contingency funds. Vanessa Joseph, the city clerk who summarized the meeting, said the owners view the site as an anchor for the Seventh Avenue Corridor revitalization.

Both awards were presented to the CRA board as economic development investments intended to strengthen recreational and commercial activity in the redevelopment area. The transcript did not include vote tallies or the names of CRA board members who moved or seconded the motions.

The CRA’s approvals do not, in themselves, detail construction timelines, specific performance conditions, or the grant agreement language. Those details were not specified in the meeting summary provided.

Vanessa Joseph, City Clerk, summarized the CRA actions during a recorded meeting update.
