| Riverside Park Renovations and Enhancements |
Riverside Park is one of the most popular parks in Miami, Florida. The park is located on the north side of downtown Miami, just east of Interstate 95. Riverside Park covers an area of approximately 50 acres and is one of the largest parks in the County. City of Miami's Riverside Park will be going through renovations and enhancements. The renovations and enhancements will include the following work in the design and construction phase: Removal of the existing natural turf/clay field and installation of new sub-grade base, drainage, and artificial turf field. The field will be filled, regraded, rainwater collected and connected to a drainage system. New concrete retaining curbs or walks will be placed at the perimeter of the new geotextile turf. Replacing the existing sports field fixtures with new LED fixtures. The six existing precast concrete poles will be used for the light fixtures. Existing security lightening and cameras on the poles are to remain. Replacing fencing at perimeter of existing field where required for proposed use. Replacing entrance gate at 8th Avenue. ARPA funds will aid construction costs for the synthetic turf field, as well as the additional park renovations/enhancements. |

| Presidio Politico Historico Cubano - Casa del Preso |
The project consists of providing funding and assistance to "Casa del Preso" (Cuban Historical Political Prison) museum operated by the Presidio Politico Historico Cubano (PPHC) organization. The museum is dedicated to assisting political prisoners from Cuba living in Miami, as well as others incarcerated on the island overseas for the past 40 years. Due to the pandemic the nonprofit was unable to meet, host public functions, or fundraise to collect funds for necessary museum repairs. Museum conditions deteriorated due to being closed for COVID-19 and must be renovated to improve their condition. The ARPA funds are intended to help the nonprofit upgrade the museum's infrastructure. |

| American Museum of The Cuban Diaspora |
The American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora (AMCD) is a culturally specific museum of memory dedicated to showcasing and documenting the history, culture, and contributions of the Cuban exile community through exhibitions and programming in the arts and humanities. AMCD received financial assistance to compensate for revenue losses suffered during the temporary shutdown of the museum due to the COVID pandemic (March 18, 2020 - March 23, 2021). The objective is to complete its permanent exhibition on Cuban American history and promote it through tour operators, guides, and advertisements. Specifically, the immigration section of the exhibit will discuss the different waves of Cuban immigration to the United States since 1959, including the story of Miami's Freedom Tower. Additionally, there will be a section highlighting the contributions of Cuban Americans across various fields in the United States. The funding received from ARPA will enable AMCD to continue sharing the history and culture of Miami's Cuban American community with both residents and tourists. The program strives to attract 50,000 visitors within the first twelve months of the exhibit's opening date. |
