‘Wynwood City’

Re the Nov. 12 article, A mini-city in Wynwood?: I can only hope the Wynwood BID adheres to its original concepts for Wynwood development and makes appropriate modifications to the massive conceptual renderings.

Affordable housing, technology, art, music and theater dance all bring to life jobs and endless possibilities in Wynwood and beyond. Scrap the for-profit beauty school and underwrite authentic less-predatory programs that will include opportunities to the residents of Allapattah and Overtown.

Mold Wynwood into a unique, global and multifaceted inclusive community. Don’t blow it.
