Transforming a City: Hope for Opa-Locka

Recent work by organizations involved in the Miami-Dade consortium – led by NHS of South Florida – is highlighted in this article for projects and plans for “The Triangle,” an area known for its drug trafficking and other criminal activity. Through partnerships and funding projects, this struggling part of town is undergoing an “extreme makeover” as part of the consortium’s NSP funding. Activities include new trees, new medians and a park as well as plans for affordable homes, business development and a recreation center.
