Metro News: Press Release: Beach  

BY: REGINA BROWN

MIAMI–The city of Miami announced in a press release this morning that the Public Beach Area restoration efforts are almost completed. They declined when asked for an exact date, stating “This has not been an easy task but completion is near.” An explosion nearly two years ago leveled the Miami Beach District, including many of the area’s businesses. City officials are hoping the reopening of the Beach front will encourage merchants to return to the area as well as boost the declining tourist numbers.
