Greetings esteemed residents and business owners of Miramar!
My commitment to the well-being of our residents and the growth of our businesses has been unwavering, and I am thrilled to share some of the exciting initiatives I have implemented this past year.
First, we made history with the erection of the Usain Bolt Statue, a magnificent tribute to the world’s fastest man at our Ansin Sports Complex. This monumental piece not only marks our city’s dedication to art in public places but also stands as a testament to the spirit of achievement that defines Miramar. The coverage of the erection of the Bolt statue surpassed $1 million in publicity value, with a reach of over 34 million people worldwide. Our Ansin Sports Complex has become a breeding ground for exceptional athletes such as 14-year-old Miramar resident, Arianna Woolcock, the fastest 200-meter runner in the US in her age category to the hosting the fastest woman at this year’s world track and field games, Sha’Carri Richardson who participated in the Miramar Invitational held earlier this year at Ansin.
I am dedicated to implementing innovative ideas for community policing, to this end I introduced the City’s first Police Social Worker. This groundbreaking initiative, the first in our State, ensures that our law enforcement agency is equipped with the tools and resources needed to address complex social issues.
Empowering our youth has always been a priority, which is why I have partnered with Honey Shine Inc. to enhance the minds, bodies, and well-being of young girls in Miramar. By investing in their future, we are building a foundation for a stronger and more inclusive society.
Recognizing that our seniors make up a significant portion of our community I recently held the Annual Senior Resource Fair & Food Distribution event. This provided seniors with essential resources including access to various vendors from sectors such as housing, healthcare, and home improvements.
I collaborated with State Representative Marie Woodson to bring the mobile arm of the DMV, known as FLOW to Miramar. This convenient service enables our residents to easily fulfill all their licensing needs.
We have expanded my apprenticeship program and now have opportunities in IT, theater production, marketing and economic development & housing as well as more positions in public works & utilities. By investing in apprenticeships, we are fostering a skilled workforce that will drive our city’s growth and prosperity.
I partnered with the Fire Department to implement our Save A Life Day which empowered our residents with the knowledge and skills to take action and save lives.
I am proud to announce the establishment of the Elderly Affairs Advisory Board and the BID Construction & Professional Services Advisory Board. These boards are a testament to my commitment to inclusivity, ensuring that the voices of our community are not only heard but represented.
The state of our beloved city, Miramar is good! Together, we will continue to build a city that thrives on innovation, celebrates achievements, and supports the well-being of all its residents!
As the holiday season approaches, I wanted to take a moment to extend my warmest wishes to each and everyone of you. This time of year, is a special opportunity for us to come together as a community, celebrating the joy, love, and togetherness that the holiday brings. Whether you are celebrating Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, or any other festive occasion, I hope that you find peace, happiness, and fulfillment in the company of your loved ones.
