By: Edelman for Portman-CMC “We ask that you select a developer and work expeditiously to fast track a new convention center for Miami Beach,” the letter said. “It is an economic engine we cannot afford to lose or allow some other community to stick the shovel in the ground first.” CPNA’s mission is to develop, enhance and improve the residential, commercial, and cultural qualities of the Collins Park neighborhood in Miami Beach that make the area both historically important and richly vibrant. The neighborhood includes the Miami Beach Convention Center district, including City Hall, the Miami Beach Botanical Garden and the Holocaust Memorial. The organization highlighted the benefits that will be brought to Miami Beach by the development project, if approved, while also noting the positive impact it would have for public opinion about city government. “This (project) gives you the chance to end your commission in November on the highest note, the one everyone will remember. Please take this opportunity for both the community and yourselves.” CPNA also called on the City to announce its decision by the currently slated deadline of Wednesday, July 17. “Do not stall making a decision any longer. On July 17th, pick a developer and move forward,” the letter said. ### About Portman-CMC The Portman-CMC team is one of two development groups currently bidding to develop the 52-acre Miami Beach Convention Center district.
