Fink Studio Renovation
Coral Gables is proud to preserve our City’s past while looking forward to our future. On Jan. 21, 2021, the City officially launched the renovation of the H. George Fink Studio. In this studio, George Fink crafted the City’s unique Mediterranean style creating what is now, our City Beautiful. This historical building will soon be the new home to our Economic Development Department allowing for great ideas to emerge from Fink’s studio, once again. We are thrilled to continue moving Coral Gables forward.

Black olive trees treatment |
|
|
|
The City of Coral Gables is looking to proactively handle the rusty stains that Black Olive trees can create on sidewalks and driveways beneath their canopy. This March, the city will treat some 2,000 Black Olive trees as part of a multi-year citywide staining treatment study. The trunks of these trees will be injected with an insecticide targeting the mite that feeds on the flowers of the tree which leads to the staining. The injection treatment is environmentally safe and is not harmful to animals or humans.
If you have a Black Olive tree in front of your home and would like to be part of the study, send us an email by Feb. 1 to [email protected] . If treatment was previously requested they will be automatically be treated again this year.
