COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission 
FROM:Commissioner Kristen Rosen Gonzalez 
DATE:September  13, 2017
 



SUBJECT:

DISCUSS HOLDING A BEACH CONCERT IN THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH TO ANNOUNCE TO THE WORLD THAT THE CITY IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS.


ANALYSIS

As an aftermath of hurricane Irma, the City’s hospitality industry is suffering, with many hotels and restaurants vacant. The City needs to take action, such as holding a beach concert, to announce to the world that Miami Beach is open for business. Such a concert would generate needed positive press coverage.

Funding for such a concert could be requested from the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB).

If ever the City needed an event to announce that it is open for business, it is now.
