NW 7th Avenue Corridor CRA — 2026 Plan Update
A refreshed redevelopment plan and a life-extension for an established, mid-course CRA — repositioning NW 7th Avenue as the cultural, mobility, and economic spine of North Miami-Dade County, from the Golden Glades Interchange to NW 79th Street.
A plan update, an assessment, and a path to extension
This is not a new CRA — it is a 2026 update to the 2012 corridor plan, paired with an Assessment of Need to extend the agency’s life from its 2034 sunset to the 2044 statutory maximum. This portal collects the deliverables for review.

NW 7th Ave CRA — TIF Projection Model
An extension model, not a creation model — three areas frozen at different base years (2003, 2012, 2025). Compare cumulative TIF through the 2034 sunset versus the 2044 statutory maximum, and see exactly what an extension unlocks.
Why extend, and why now
The NW 7th Avenue Corridor CRA was established in 2004 and expanded in 2012 and 2025. It runs parallel to I-95 between the Golden Glades Interchange and NW 79th Street — a corridor with exceptional regional access but auto-oriented, fragmented, and underutilized land: the economic signature of unfinished redevelopment.
The program is mid-course, not concluded. Under Miami-Dade Resolution R-611-15, a CRA older than ten years must prepare an Assessment of Need to extend its life. Doing so unlocks nearly 3× the increment available through the current 2034 sunset.
NW 7th Avenue as the “Cultural, Mobility, and Economic Spine of North Miami-Dade County” — organized into three place-based subdistricts: the Golden Glades Mobility District, the Uptown Cultural District, and the Little River Innovation District.
