SUBJECT:REFERRAL TO THE JANUARY 2019 FINANCE AND CITYWIDE PROJECTS COMMITTEE TO DISCUSS LEASING 1661 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE TO MOONLIGHTER.

ANALYSIS

Please add this referral item to the January 16, 2019 City Commission agenda.

 

Moonlighter is a membership-based digital fabrication lab, creative collaboration and STEAM learning space, and an arts/design exhibition venue. It was founded by Tom Pupo and Daisy Nodal, two FIU alumni and adjunct professors, in August 2015. Moonlighter is interested in moving from Wynwood and leasing 1661 Pennsylvania Avenue to grow their community makerspace in Miami Beach. I ask the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee to discuss their attached proposal at its January meeting.
