Miami-Dade TPO Deputy Director – Transportation, Mary Tery Vilches-Landa, P.E., represented the TPO during The Underline Hammock Trail State Appropriation event hosted by Meg Daly, Founder and President of Friends of The Underline. The event took place at The Underline’s Hammock Playground in the City of Miami at the corner of SW 15th Avenue and SW 1St Avenue. Nearly $1,000,000 was secured for The Underline’s 3rd and final phase that includes 12 planned amenity areas spanning 7.36-miles connecting SW 19th Avenue to the southern terminus at the Dadeland South Metrorail Station.

It’s no secret that real estate development has long been dominated by a particular demographic, but despite undeniable talent, women and people of color remain underrepresented. The REDI program is a great first step toward building a more inclusive and equitable industry. The mentorship component of the program is invaluable. Our participants had the opportunity to learn directly from seasoned real estate professionals, gaining insight into the challenges and opportunities unique to our local community. However, the core reason there is so little diversity in the real estate development industry can’t be ignored: access to equity and the ability to guarantee a loan. Municipalities, corporations, and banks need to come together to establish first-in catalytic funding commitments as well as pre-development funding sources. Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Apple have all dedicated funds specifically to address housing. United Healthcare, Humana, and Blue Cross Blue Shield have dedicated funds to housing. Bank of America and Wells Fargo have dedicated grant funding as well as low-interest patient funds to support minority developers. We, here in Northwest Arkansas, need to find local partners willing to do the same.
Earlier this week I had the privilege to serve Urban Land Institute Northwest Arkansas by joining a judging panel for their newly launched REDI program. This night completed the program where four teams presented their development projects on land that is currently owned by the city of Rogers in the downtown core. Every team did a fantastic job! This program was led by Megan Brown (in photo) and Tiffany Hudson. Great job ladies!!

An interesting panel discussion yesterday hosted by Insider Media. With development in Bristol being so expensive the panel discussed how we balance the need for affordable housing without losing sight of the other important issues, such as the environment, and still ensure good place-making and quality for future generations. As pointed out by Nick Sturge MBE, Bristol has a huge pool of talent which needs to be supported with better infrastructure, versatile commercial space and homes located to support growing sectors, such as our diverse Tech sector. But it's not just about homes, there is still a huge demand for Cat A office space, and David North spoke about the difference it has made to the Osborne Clarke team moving to a better quality office both from a well-being perspective and with office attendance. Finally, Richard Bonner asked that we all continue to support the idea for a rapid transport system, which is a key solution to many of Bristol's challenges although still a long way off - unbelievably Bristol is the only core city in the UK without one! Investment is crucial for Bristol to achieve its future aspirations. Examples such as Bristol Temple Quarter are paving the way to a built environment that is hopefully greener, more inclusive and showcases our unique City for generations to come. #Bristol #Buildingforthefuture
Bristol City Council chief planner Simone Wilding says that the Temple Quarter development - which will transform more than 321 acres of brownfield land next to the city’s central station into a series of well-connected mixed-use communities and includes a new University of Bristol campus - is a massive opportunity for the city Chris Ward https://lnkd.in/gkCWJfCs

Worth 5 minutes of your time. The impact goes far deeper than a first glance would suggest.
Our co-chair, Andrew McLeod spoke with the Newshub team this week on the welcome re-opening of the Brynderwyns. Andrew reminded viewers that the Brynderwyns route is not a permanent solution and that we need a 4 lane expressway from Warkworth to Whangārei to ensure an efficient and resilient connection to Auckland. Northland is very much open for business and we hope to see lots more visitors this Matariki weekend. #NorthlandExpressway cc: Rosie Mercer, Lindsay Faithfull, Rob Buchanan, Rob Kirwan, Northpower, Marsden Maritime Holdings Ltd, Culham Engineering Company Ltd, Channel Infrastructure NZ, McKay, Mark Trigg, Murray Jagger, Vince Cocurullo, Ripeka Evans, Harry Burkhardt

Founder of Emi's Elevators 501c3 Status: 170(b)(1)(A)(vi). Founder of Nokes Mountain Elevator Benefit Company.
In response to this article on elevator construction, regulation, labor, and immigration, I believe a viable solution lies in a business model that leverages the strengths of a 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) designated 501c3 organization in conjunction with a benefit elevator company. Our nonprofit Emi's Elevator, which is the majority owner of Nokes Mountain Elevator Company, aims to address these issues by creating Small, Women-owned, and Minority-owned (SWAM) businesses and job opportunities through targeted apprenticeship programs. Our mission focuses specifically on public, low-income, and subsidized housing sectors, where there is a significant need for the maintenance, servicing, modernization, and new installation of elevator infrastructure. By prioritizing the creation of skilled jobs and fostering entrepreneurship within these underserved housing communities, we can alleviate labor shortages and contribute to economic development. Our approach ensures that workers receive the necessary training and support, promoting a sustainable workforce equipped to meet the demands of the elevator industry. In addition to our focus on housing, we also address elevator infrastructure needs in public facilities, including military bases, rehabilitation centers, hospitals, and other essential public institutions. Ensuring reliable and efficient elevator systems in these facilities not only improves operational efficiency and safety but also supports the well-being of the communities they serve. Moreover, by focusing on the maintenance and modernization of elevator infrastructure in public and subsidized housing, we can contribute to lowering housing costs. Efficient and reliable elevator systems reduce the overall maintenance costs for housing authorities, which can translate into lower rents and fees for residents. Additionally, by creating job opportunities and fostering economic growth within these communities, we help residents achieve financial stability, further reducing the economic pressures associated with housing costs. Through this integrated business model, we not only enhance the quality and safety of elevator systems in both housing and public facilities but also drive social impact by empowering marginalized groups, fostering community resilience, and contributing to more affordable housing and better public services.
Stephen Jacob Smith, founder and executive director of the Center for Building in North America, used the elevator to explain why housing costs have skyrocketed, among other woes, in a guest essay for The New York Times https://lnkd.in/eXVw38N6
