no attachments presented;Today is challenging, but also presents a once in a lifetime opportunity for the City of Key West to reinvent itself.While we think about rebuilding our community/economy, let us think about how the City (and County) can partner with the business and the philanthropic communities to set long-term goals/policies for resilience, a community known for limiting commercial activities to protect our environment, a community less reliant on the low wage tourism businesses that dominated our economy in the past, a community more attractive to long-term residents instead of wealthy second homeowners and investors.This can be done with the right long-term leadership.
Concerning the $8,328,721,940 that the CARES act has reportedly allocated to the State of Florida to distribute 45% to Cities, along with the numerous Assistance and Block grants now available to Key West, please report on the progress being made to secure our fare share of all available revenue assistance on behalf of the City.
Also, how is it proper for the City to charge rent to commercial tenants while they are closed down by the same City?
