TOWN HALL BABCOCK PARK

This town hall meeting held by the City of Hialeah on August 13, 2026, focused on updating residents about ongoing city projects and initiatives. Key procurement-related topics included a $3.55 million investment by the Miami Marlins to create a free youth baseball academy at BCK Park, benefiting children ages 4 to 17 with equipment and training. The city also launched a pilot program for smart water meters, installing 200 meters from four different companies at no cost to test technology that could improve water billing accuracy and reduce staffing costs. Additionally, the city is undertaking infrastructure improvements such as repainting 370 miles of streets and replacing approximately 5,000 streetlights with energy-efficient LED fixtures, with over half already installed and completion expected by December. These projects reflect significant capital investments and vendor engagements aimed at enhancing city services and aesthetics.
