Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade held a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the reconstruction of the Hank Kline Club’s US 1 & surrounding property – landscaping, fencework and pavement project. City of Miami Commissioner Marc Sarnoff, Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s board members and Club members participated in the ceremony.
With funding from the City of Miami Community Development Block Grant, Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade will remove all large Florida Holly trees and debris on the south side of the Hank Kline Club, remove disposal of existing chain link fencing and replace chain link fencing with the construction and installation of an aluminum fence and provide landscaping and sidewalk reconstruction and installation along the south side of the Hank Kline Club.
This project will enhance the aesthetic beauty of the Hank Kline Club specifically, as well as this part of the City of Miami. All landscaping & sidewalk reconstruction work is for the project area between SW 31st & 32nd Avenues facing US 1. All fencing is for the entire property located at 2805 SW 32nd Avenue, including the project area between SW 31st & 32nd Avenues facing US 1. All contracted work will be in accordance with the City of Miami’s 2004-09 Consolidated Plan.
“We are honored to count with a grant from the City of Miami Development Block Grant for the highly anticipated reconstruction of this specific area of the Hank Kline Club,” said Alex Rodriguez-Roig, Executive Director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade. “The Hank Kline facility is where the first Boys & Girl Clubs of Miami-Dade was ever built and a place where children in our community for more than 40 years have had a second home.”
Funding for this project is provided by the City of Miami Community Development Block Grant ($200,000) from the U.S. Department of HUD, requiring SECTION 3, DAVIS BACON, Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action, The Copeland Act, The Contract Work Hours and Safety Standard Act, and all other applicable Federal, State, and local laws and ordinances.
