The FEC Corridor is a physically and economically distressed inner-city redevelopment area consisting of more than 2000 acres. The corridor is comprised of a mix of industrial, warehouse, commercial and residential uses with a disproportionate share of vacant parcels and underutilized buildings. Many of the neighborhoods within the corridor have double-digit unemployment rates due in part to the loss of 19,150 jobs in the area between 1980 and 1995. In recent years the corridor has begun to experience a heightened level of private real estate investment activity within certain districts and pockets. Investment has been most evident within the Biscayne Boulevard corridor, the adjacent Design District and along NE 4th Court north to 79th Street. The FEC Corridor study area also contains important east/west connections between Interstate 95 and Biscayne Bay along which 70 percent of the city’s remaining land zoned for industrial uses can be found.
