Miami Welcomes Times Square – City Approves Electronic Billboards With 5-0 Vote

July 22, 2010

Looks like Miami will continue to be the “Bright Lights, Big City” of the South.  The Miami City Commission, earlier today, approved a change in a zoning ordinance which would allow developer Marc Siffin to erect a pair of electronic billboards atop an eight-story parking garage next to the Adrienne Arsht Center which is located in the Arts + Entertainment District of Miami.  According to the Miami Herald’s report, Siffin will pay an annual permitting fee of $2.2M to the city and has agreed to contribute $8M toward the construction of Museum Park as part of a concession package.
