He aims also to take messages from the business community "beyond the castle walls.
Plans are in motion for the chamber to poll its members, build consensus on issues and speak out, as the chamber has in favor of the Global Agreement between Miami and Miami-Dade County that lays out plans for a new Marlins stadium, a port tunnel and a revamp of downtown's Bicentennial Park, among other projects. The plan will allow the community to build upon its ongoing investment in the urban core, Mr. Fernandez-Guzman said.
