Four Miami business leaders have announced the founding of the Town
Square Neighborhood Development Corporation, a group that will oversee
the development of Miami’s Arsht Center District. The group is citing
New York’s Lincoln Center as one of its models for development. “We came
together a year ago with the goal of ensuring that the landscape of the
Arsht Center District neighborhood evolves into a vibrant [one]
