In a recent statement, Juan Carlos “JC” Bermudez, Miami-Dade County Commissioner, District 12, delivered some fantastic news that holds great promise for our community. The County Mayor has issued a memorandum to the Board of County Commissioners, following collaborative efforts with staff, mayoral representatives, and the mayor herself.
After careful consideration and collaboration, a positive consensus has been reached. It has been determined that the most favorable location for the county’s resource facility, along with a comprehensive campus to address waste management concerns, is situated on Krome Avenue and U.S. 27.
This update reflects a significant milestone in addressing our waste management challenges. The board and administration recognize the urgency to enhance our approach, as underinvestment in our solid waste system is not an option. Federal and state grant opportunities are primed for capital projects, allowing for substantial investment. Concurrently, a strategic restructuring of the funding mechanism ensures operational affordability for our residents.
The recommendations, introduced at the outset of this communication, will soon translate into concrete legislation and procurement measures under the board’s direction. As we journey towards a more sustainable future, the example set by Palm Beach County, where waste-to-landfill practices have ceased, fuels our aspiration.
An upcoming Board meeting, in accordance with Ordinance No. 14-65, will continue this discussion. For more insights, don’t hesitate to contact us, Doral Community Coalition, at doralcommunitycoalition@gmail.com.
