Mayor's Message

Since taking office as Mayor of Miami-Dade County, my administration has been laser-focused on building an economy that works for everyone. Our local economy has been ranked one of the most-recovered from the pandemic nationwide. Now, we’re building on the infusion of talent and capital in our region to develop an economy where all people can thrive.

Our Future-Ready Economic Development Plan puts the people of Miami-Dade first, as we bolster pathways to new small business opportunities, expand access to the innovation economy, and invest in resilience to future-proof our economy and our environment. Our plan fosters greater collaboration among public, private, nonprofit, and academic partners for a diverse, sustainable, and thriving economy.
