Miami-Dade Leaders Convene for 'Dade Days' and Critical Committee Sessions

Local Government Intensifies Advocacy and Policy Reviews

Tuesday, February 10, 2026, marks a high-stakes day for Miami-Dade’s political landscape as county leaders balance local legislative sessions with major advocacy efforts in the state capital. The schedule is highlighted by the commencement of 'Dade Days,' an annual tradition where city and county officials travel to Tallahassee to meet with state lawmakers. This two-day event, running today and tomorrow, allows local representatives to push for critical funding and policy priorities that directly impact the South Florida region, including infrastructure grants and environmental protection measures.

County Commission Committee Sessions

While a significant delegation is representing the county upstate, the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners is maintaining a busy schedule of committee meetings at the Stephen P. Clark Center. Three key sessions are slated to address local governance and urban management:

• Transportation Committee (9:00 AM): This morning session is expected to review updates on the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Program and transit-oriented development projects aimed at easing the region’s growing traffic congestion.
• Safety and Health Committee (11:00 AM): This session focuses on public safety initiatives, including emergency management protocols and community health resources.
• Housing Committee (1:00 PM): Originally rescheduled for today, this committee will tackle the ongoing affordable housing crisis, reviewing land-use proposals and funding for low-income residential developments.

City-Level Meetings and Public Outreach

In the City of Miami, the Wynwood Design Review Committee is scheduled to meet at 10:00 AM. The committee will evaluate new architectural proposals for the Wynwood District, ensuring that upcoming commercial and residential projects adhere to the neighborhood's unique aesthetic standards. These reviews are vital as the district continues its rapid transformation into a high-density urban hub.

Meanwhile, the City of Miami Beach is prioritizing community engagement this evening with a virtual community meeting regarding the Miami Beach Promenade. Starting at 6:00 PM, officials will recap public feedback on the planning stages for the promenade stretch located behind oceanfront properties between 24th and 29th Streets. Additionally, the Miami Beach Convention Center Advisory Board held a morning session to discuss future bookings and facility improvements aimed at maintaining the city's status as a premier global destination for tourism and trade.
