Chairman's Report (2017-2018)

Message from Chairman Esteban L. Bovo, Jr.

Two years ago, when I was elected by my colleagues to serve as the Chairman of the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners, I set priorities that aimed at improving the quality of life for all residents of Miami-Dade County. Those priorities included improving our public transportation system thru the development and implementation of the SMART Plan, planning and construction of a new civil probate courthouse, rehabilitation and finding efficiencies within our detention facilities, making our community more resilient to climate change, and keeping our neighborhoods safer from senseless gun violence.

I am proud to report that your Board of County Commissioners has taken bold steps towards addressing all of these goals and much more. Below you will find some key legislation that has been adopted by your County Commission and the Mayor during my term as Chairman from 2017-2018.
