Friends of The Underline Secures $25,000 Grant Funding

Friends of The Underline has secured $25,000 in investment, bolstering its efforts to develop a transformative public space in Miami. The organization is dedicated to creating The Underline, a 10-mile linear park, urban trail, and public art destination beneath the city's Metrorail system. This ambitious project aims to repurpose underutilized land within Miami’s urban core, converting it into a vibrant neighborhood park and living art destination. The vision for The Underline is to foster a safer, healthier, more connected, mobile, and engaged community. Once completed, the space is designed to be openly accessible to all, providing amenities and art installations intended to enhance connections between people and their environment. The $25,000 in investment capital, secured from investors, represents a crucial endorsement of Friends of The Underline's mission. This funding round is significant as it provides essential resources that will be prudently directed towards the organization's strategic growth initiatives and the sustained development of the linear park. While the overall project is multifaceted and long-term, this capital will specifically support ongoing planning, initial implementation efforts, and community outreach programs designed to ensure the project's continued progress and public awareness. Looking ahead, Friends of The Underline plans to leverage this investment to further its ambitious goals. The organization aims to continue advancing the phased development of The Underline, working to realize its full potential as a unique public asset. This capital will contribute to the foundational work required to connect communities, enhance urban mobility, and enrich the cultural landscape of Miami, establishing The Underline as a vital component of the city's future infrastructure.
