Information from SFRPC's ""10 Years Down The Road"" 2011 report on the State Road 7 Collaborative: At its inception in 2001, the Collaborative was formed as a regional partnership to address the economic and aesthetic conditions of Broward County’s deteriorating State Road 7/U.S. 441 Corridor and its impact on abutting cities. The original group and their representatives included: City of Lauderhill Commissioner Leanna “Lee” Mirsky; Plantation Mayor Rae Carol Armstrong; Miramar Mayor Lori Mosely; Lauderdale Lakes Commissioner Hazzelle Rogers; and Hollywood Mayor Giulianti. It wasn’t long before they invited the remaining 11 area jurisdictions to join the effort.
The communities conducted regular monthly meetings, rotating locations among the jurisdictions, and shared the common goal of improving the Corridor. The group asked the South Florida Regional Planning Council for assistance, and the Council responded with funding from the Florida Department of Community Affairs and the Florida Department of Community Affairs. The group was then able to organize and establish the Partnership Agreement, Mission Statement, Organizational Structure, and long-term plan. Thus, the State Road 7/U.S. 441 Collaborative was official.
The Partnership Agreement created a Steering Committee comprised of one representative from each of the Corridor jurisdictions, and extended ex-officio membership to the Broward County Metropolitan Planning Organization, Broward County School Board, Broward County Planning Council, Florida Department of Transportation, South Florida Water Management District, Florida Department of Community Affairs, and South Florida Regional Planning Council. A portion of State Road 7/U.S. 441 also includes the Seminole Nation.
