Miami, FL (October 27, 2015) – The Wynwood Business Improvement District (BID) today installed national real estate industry professional Jonathon Yormak, co-founder and managing principal of East End Capital, as the newest member of its Board of Directors.

Recently, the BID successfully lead the effort to create a Neighborhood Revitalization District (NRD) Plan.
