RESOLUTION FOR BUSINESSES
The “Hold the Line” campaign objects to current attempts to
move the Urban Development Boundary (UDB), and acknowledges Miami-Dade
County residents are best served when their money reinvigorates existing
infrastructure, supports a viable farming industry, creates housing and
job opportunities along mass transportation routes, and protects the drinking
water supply.
Development in Miami-Dade County has negatively impacted the quality of
life for our residents and families. Local communities, like ours, already
feel the impacts of frustrating traffic congestion, loss of agriculture
land, over-crowded schools, lack of affordable housing choices, limited
employment opportunities, and the loss of fish and wildlife habitat in
Biscayne Bay and the Everglades. We recognize the unacceptable costs all
residents pay when new infrastructure is built outside the UDB without
first addressing the current needs within our existing communities.
We, as business owners, urge Miami-Dade County
decision-makers to "Hold the Line," the Urban Development
Boundary that separates urban areas from environmental and agriculture
lands, and fund solutions inside the UDB that improve our quality of
life, our communities, and our environment. |
