The real estate bust and prolonged recession have shriveled one of this country’s most thriving regions.

Red Fields to Green Fields will:

• Accelerate our “Safe Routes to Schools” and “Safe Paths to Parks” initiatives and link new greenspaces with kids.
• Increase access for education, recreation and after school programs and reduce urban crime.
• Add 1,625 acres of additional parkland and build a link the only US metropolitan area bordered by two US National Parks (Everglades and Biscayne Bay).
• Create 312 acres of transit oriented development that links our public places, and increase the tax base by an additional $58.8 million per year.
• Create 14,375 jobs per year for 5 years.
