Façade Beautification and Work Training Program
At the SEOPW CRA, we believe in the power of first impressions. That's why we've launched the Façade Beautification and Work Training Program. Our vision is to rejuvenate the streetscape of our community, boost local businesses, and foster a greater sense of pride among our residents. Through this program, we support businesses and residents within the SEOPW CRA boundaries, aiding them in revitalizing their commercial or residential exteriors.
Enhancing Community Appeal: SEOPW CRA's Façade Improvement Program
Our Façade Beautification and Work Training Program is a transformative initiative to revitalize the community's visual appeal and strengthen its structural foundation. Championed by SEOPW CRA Board Chairwoman Christine King and Executive Director James McQueen, the program focuses on exterior painting, repairs, and prep work for one-, two-, and three-story residential, mixed-use, and commercial buildings. Facilitated by the Florida International University (FIU) Construction Trades Program, the work training aspect of the program provides a balanced approach to learning for residents. Trainees will benefit from classroom sessions and hands-on experience, gaining practical knowledge and skills.
