Incinerator update meeting

The City of Miramar held an incinerator update meeting on September 26, 2024, to inform residents about the ongoing opposition to Miami-Dade County's proposed mass burn incinerator project. The discussion focused on the environmental, health, and community impacts of the proposed incinerator sites, particularly the Airport West site, which the city and its neighboring municipalities strongly oppose due to concerns about toxic emissions, water supply contamination, and endangered species. The city has retained top environmental attorneys and is coordinating with local and state officials, environmental groups, and neighboring cities to challenge the project. The meeting also highlighted upcoming key dates, including a critical Miami-Dade County Commission meeting on November 6, where the site decision is expected. While no direct procurement or contract awards were discussed, the meeting emphasized strategic legal and advocacy efforts to influence the county's decision and protect community interests.
