<p><strong>Allapattah: 17th Avenue Property Directory</strong></p>Rediscovering Miami's Neighborhoods</p><br></p>In 2019 Dade Heritage Trust partnered with The Allapattah Collaborative to bring attention to the unique character of this thriving Dominican neighborhood and to support the small locally-owned businesses along 17th Avenue. Along with Mileyka Burgos and Manuel Ochoa Dade Heritage Trust has supported efforts for 17th Avenue to become part of a nation-wide network of Main Street programs. Established by the National Trust for Historic Preservation Main Street America is a network of large and small communities who understand that their locally-owned walkable commercial areas (often the Main Street in small towns) are an important source of community identity and economic resilience. Based on an approach of preservation and supporting community self-sufficiency Main Street empowers communities to set their own destinies.</p><br></p><p><strong><em>Prepared for: </em></strong>Dade Heritage Trust Inc. and the Florida Department of State Division of Historical Resources</em></p>This project was funded in part by the Florida Department of State Division of Historical Resources Dade Heritage Trust and The Villagers Inc.</em></p><p><br></p>
