Consolidating County services closer to residents is critical to building Miami-Dade of the future |
Miami-Dade County is committed to investing in the infrastructure we need to ensure our community’s continued growth and prosperity.

EdFed’s Money Tips: Buying a Home in Miami’s Tough Housing Market |
|
Buying a home is one of life’s biggest decisions, and it remains at the heart of the American Dream. Unlike renting, owning a home means more than just having a place to live – it offers a sense of belonging, stability, and freedom. According to CNN Business, in 2023, around 4.5 million people achieved that dream of buying a home. However, if you live in South Florida, you know that buying a house can be an overwhelming and expensive journey. While mortgage rates remain at a two-decade high, Miami-Dade County has continued to lead the U.S. in home price appreciation, according to a December 2023 report from the Miami Association of Realtors. Another report from Rocket Homes disclosed that in March 2024 the median home price in Miami was $540,091, up 6.9% over last year. So with higher mortgage rates and increased prices, is it any wonder why it is so difficult to achieve the American Dream of becoming a homeowner?... Read More |

Miami-Dade County Commissioner Kionne McGhee Propels Economic Development with Costco Project
|
Miami-Dade County Commissioner Kionne McGhee is proud to announce a major economic development initiative that will significantly benefit the South-Dade community. In response to recent inquiries regarding the economic viability of the proposed Costco development on a County-owned site held by the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD), Commissioner McGhee outlined the substantial positive impact and economic benefits this project will bring to District 9. “The site in question, acquired by the County for approximately $2.7 million in 2003, has remained unused by WASD, providing no value to the community for over two decades.

Rotarians take to sea for district conference and day of service |
District 6990 Rotarians, an international district that includes Nassau, Grand Bahamas, boarded the Celebrity Reflection for a weekend cruise on May 3. The conference included two volunteer service projects in Nassau with the local Rotarians while the ship docked there on May 5th. While several Rotarians volunteered to help clear fields in a nature preserve, others participated with a promotional video to bring about awareness for human trafficking in downtown Nassau. The two groups later joined for a boxed lunch and tour at the preserve followed by a bus ride back to city center for some liquor infused ice cream at a shop owned by a local Rotarian who donated a portion of the day’s proceeds to the human trafficking awareness campaign effort. Kudos to outgoing District 6990 Governor Barbara Gobbi and so many Rotarians who helped make this a memorable conference.
