Dear members

.

As manager of the largest retail center in the North Miami Beach area, it is with great pride that I servce as President of the chamber of commerce. The Mall at 163rd Street has been a local fixture for over fifty years, opening fine shops and services to the residents of North Miami Beach. In 2005 we were proud to have complete the latest redevelopment of the center, bringing a new roster or merchants along with a visually-pleasing set of new building and improvements. Tje project was an indication of what private investment can do when there is a commitment to the local trade areas. And now that Centro Properties Group, an Astralian REIT has purchased the Mall's parent company, there is now an $8 billion company setting down its roots right here in North Miami Beach. I applaud all local firms that are members of the Chamber and urge other companies to join us in promoting the business opportunities that are available. While one person alone may not be able to move a stone. a group of people who combine strengths can move a mountain. And that mountain for us is to continue to improve the North Miami Beach business climate so that our residents may enjoy many diverse and beneficial opportunities. I loo forward to the upcoming year.
