Dear Friends and Neighbors,
The county is mailing this survey below. Please be on the lookout for it. Make sure to vote NO as Miami Springs continues to forcefully attempt to annex our area!
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
We secured a great victory on November 15th at County Hall thanks to some fair and courageous county commissioners and the unity of our property owners, small and medium sized businesses and our employee associates. We escaped a hostile, unfair, undemocratic and unwanted annexation of our properties and businesses by Miami Springs.
That victory will provide us a choice about the way things proceed. However, this time it will be OUR choice. We will fight with all of our power to prevent any annexation of our properties that denies us a vote. Self-determination and the right to vote are fundamentally American. In fact, our great nation was founded on such principles.
Thank you again for your support of what was truly a tremendous group effort. We trust our victory will soon rally many others to our cause (even some who never thought we’d get this done). We’ll move forward together to find a proper place for our properties, businesses and employees to call home. Whether it remains unincorporated Miami-Dade County, or not, will largely depend on our collective desires and consent. Let’s continue to stay strong and united so that we keep on winning. Please keep coming back here for the latest updates.
We would like to thank the following commissioners for their support in voting no to the first reading of the interlocal agreement with Miami Springs.
They are the following:
Please send our County commissioners who supported us a letter of appreciation.
Their contact information can be found here: Board of County Commissioners (miamidade.gov)
We thank them for their support, and we couldn’t have reached this stage without them.

Some mayors and city officials say this annexation makes sense and that it will provide services such as fire rescue, police and more.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed it's the only thing that ever has.
No law can give me the right to do what is wrong.
Dear Friends & Neighbors,
Thank you to all that attended last Friday’s rally at The Tank. We did garner some significant local TV coverage – see videos.
Look, I know this isn’t easy. We’ve been at this a long time. Nearly 18 years. However, all we need to do is fight hard for 2 weeks and this thing will be over – one way or the other. So many of you have contributed time, money and effort. Let’s not let all of that go to waste because we didn’t make the effort in the last 2 minutes of the game!
November 18th, 2022 Dear Friends and Neighbors, We secured a great victory on November 15th at County Hall thanks to some fair and courageous county
November 1st, 2022 On Monday, November 1st, 2022 the county commission voted 7-5 against the first reading of the proposed interlocal agreement with Miami Springs.
Interview on NBC 6 Protest Over Annexation in Miami Springs Miami-Dade County will meet with Miami Springs officials to discuss the recently passed annexation. But
As of now, County attorneys are drafting the interlocal agreements. Commissioners must approve each agreement to effectuate new city boundaries. Since no area contains the requisite number or share of voters, no vote by the public will be considered. The next commission hearing could happen at any time.
1. Rally your business neighbors to our cause and have them register.
2. Call and email each County Commissioner and let them know you are 100% against annexation by Miami Springs. Tell them the hardship their businesses already face without being forced into Miami Springs against their will. Here’s a link to ALL commissioner’s contact information; Board of County Commissioners. Here is how the latest vote went through with 7 in favor of annexation and 5 against.

Right now, the County and Miami Springs are drafting an interlocal agreement that will be heard in a first reading, and then a second reading, when the final vote and decision will be taken. Now is the time to take action.
3. Set aside monies and be ready to contribute to other politicians we support and to help finance our anti-annexation efforts.
4. Be ready to act quickly and mobilize when they receive notifications from us regarding hearings and meetings of the County. Be present at the hearings as they can come at any time in October.
5. Reach out to any news outlets to tell them our story. Send letters to the editor of The Miami Herald. Get involved with the press.
