Miami Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava opened her State of the County address by reflecting on 2021 and its many challenges, including the pandemic, rising gun violence, and the tragedy in Surfside. Despite these challenges, Mayor Levine Cava says her county is ready to take on the future and will continue to build upon the strong foundation set in 2021.
“I’ve been a public servant for over half a century, but this is the true pinnacle of my career. This is not just a job for me. It is a calling –– and I want you to know just how proud I am to be your Mayor. And yes, we have come a long way — together — but I also know we still have much work to do,” said Mayor Levine Cava.
She also spoke about current projects, such as investing in affordable housing, launching Strive305 to support entrepreneurs, and creating the Miami-Dade Tech and Innovation team to focus on talent development.
