Overtown Fights Back Against Unscrupulous Developer Michael Simkins!!!!


155 NW 10 ST

This is one of the many properties taken from Black owners by the SEOPW CRA and given to Simkins. As you can see he doesn't employ any Blacks to do work in the Black community. The Daily Business Review will be reporting on the connection between Simkins, SEOPW CRA and a third party that has allowed Simkins to receive high valued property in Overtown's development path at the expense of Black owners.


219 NW 10 ST 

 As soon as Simkins bought this building at 219 NW 10 ST he put everyone out violating Florida Statute 83.67. The only person that was bold enough to stay was Rosa. "I had paid my rent so I didn't leave, he cut my electricity off. I was so afraid that when he (Micheal Simkins) offered me $1000 I just took it and left" said Rosa. After putting out the Blacks he moves in the Latins. Self Help evictions is common practice in Overtown now gentrifying is being added to the pot.


1160 NW 2nd Avenue

Overtown is fighting back against Michael Simkins. Simkins has spent $60 million in Overtown. He is being labeled as an unscrupulous developer. Simkins way of doing business is to buy an apartment building illegally evict everyone and in some cases tear the building down. This time the people displaced were upset enough to strike back. This Doesn't Look Good.
