| Statewide Interest: |
| The project assists in the protection and rehabilitation of one of the state�s architecturally and historically significant structures (1926). Organized in 1900, the Miami Woman�s Club became one of the city�s most important cultural, civic and social organizations and was responsible for establishing Miami�s public library system. The 31,000 square foot Mediterranean Revival style building overlooks Biscayne Bay and is one of the last architectural vestiges from Miami�s first days as a city to be found in a neighborhood of modern high-rise building. The restoration will be done using sustainable methods and is a �recycling� project, i.e., reusing an existing historic building. |

| Is this a project related to a federal or state declared disaster? |
No |

| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| Completion of Phase I will allow the Miami Woman�s Club to preserve the historic building and to operate as a rental facility to generate income for its community outreach as well as funding for maintenance of the building. The MWC will also be able to provide meeting space at no charge for other nonprofit groups which serve the community. Such groups often have difficulty finding affordable meeting space. |
