ANALYSIS

I would like to refer an item to the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee (the “Committee”) to resume discussions concerning a possible Live Nation Worldwide, Inc. (“Live Nation”) project by build a new theater at the site of the existing Jackie Gleason Theater, 1700 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida.

 

In 2023, Live Nation had preliminary discussions with the Administration and made presentations to the members of the prior City Commission regarding its interest in building a new, state-of-the-art theater that will attract the highest caliber of performers and better serve the residents and visitors of the City of Miami Beach.  I would like for the new members of the Committee to be brought up to speed on this project and for Live Nation to provide an update.

 

The appropriate representatives from the Facilities Department should be prepared to participate in this discussion.  I would also request that the Administration invite representatives of Live Nation to participate in the meeting (virtually or in person).
