City of North Miami: Official Contact Information


1. The Centennial Celebration: “NoMi 100”

North Miami is officially celebrating its 100th anniversary of incorporation (1926–2026). The city has launched a year-long NoMi 100 campaign following the massive “Carnivals Around the World” kickoff. Residents can participate in the Centennial Historical City Tours aboard the City Trolley on Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM.

 

2. Launch of the Menstrual Equity Initiative

Vice Mayor Kassandra Timothe has launched a citywide initiative to provide free menstrual products in public facilities. Partnering with “Aunt Flow,” the city now offers these essentials in restrooms at 15 locations, including North Miami City Hall, the Scott Galvin Community Center, and various local parks like Enchanted Forest Elaine Gordon Park, to combat period poverty.

 

3. Critical Infrastructure: Force Main Replacements

The city is moving forward with high-priority utility upgrades to protect the local environment. Major work is currently focused on replacing the sewer force main on 135th Street between Biscayne Boulevard and 24th Court. These infrastructure improvements are designed to prevent line breaks and safeguard the health of Biscayne Bay.

 

4. Denouncing the Termination of TPS

In a formal resolution, the Mayor and City Council have denounced the federal termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian nationals. With the February 2026 deadline affecting thousands of local residents, the city is hosting “immigration conversations” and legal forums to provide support and resources for the Haitian community.

 

5. Vision Zero Safety Action Plan

Under the Vision Zero initiative, North Miami is analyzing traffic data to eliminate all traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries. The plan involves redesigning high-risk corridors to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety, a critical move as the city manages increasing density and traffic flow in the North Miami area.

 

6. Parks & Recreation Master Plan

The city is currently finalizing a 20-year Master Plan for its parks. This includes evaluating major renovations for the Cagni Park North Athletic Complex and the Sasso Pool. Residents are encouraged to visit the city website or contact the Parks department to provide feedback on how to “reimagine” these green spaces for the next generation.

 

7. Affordable Housing & Mixed-Use Development

North Miami is seeing a surge in attainable housing and transit-oriented development. Projects like the Allure North Miami (a 250-unit residential project) and Kayla at Library Place are moving forward through the North Miami CRA. These developments aim to provide workforce housing for essential workers while boosting the local economy through mixed-use retail and luxury amenities.

 

8. Economic Growth: Small Business Grants & Partnerships

The North Miami Economic Development Department recently announced the 2026 Small Business Grant program to provide local entrepreneurs with access to capital. Additionally, North Miami has become a partner investor with the Miami-Dade Beacon Council, positioning the city as a strategic hub for international trade and capital investment in South Florida.

 

9. Resilient NoMi: Climate Change & Sustainability

Through the Resilient NoMi initiative, the city is focusing on environmental protection and climate resilience. Key projects include stormwater drainage improvements on NE 3rd Court and the installation of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations. The city is also participating in Miami Climate Week to showcase nature-based solutions for sea-level rise and extreme heat.
