Cape Canaveral is losing Florida’s corner on space exploration with the designation of Miami-Dade’s Homestead Air Force Base as an official spaceport. After both houses of the state legislature unanimously passed a bill in March expanding Florida’s spaceport territory to include Homestead Air Reserve Base, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill into law this month. It takes effect July 1. The law also covers a new spaceport at Tyndale Air Force Base in Bay County on the Gulf of Mexico in the Florida Panhandle, 12 miles east of Panama City. Both fledgling spaceports will be under the jurisdicti ..read more

Miami is moving forward with a 270-day moratorium to halt all new applications for outdoor advertising signs as commissioners continue to debate details of a new ordinance. On April 11, the city commission considered two agenda items related to outdoor advertising downtown.

Instead, a temporary measure was passed to suspend all sign applications for 270 days, giving commissioners more time to decide on a new ordinance. In Ja ..read more

You hear it when a car dealer or stockbroker or realtor tells you a price won’t last if you don’t buy today. The county heard it when owners said they’d move the Marlins to Las Vegas if the public didn’t build a $3 billion baseball stadium now. We also heard it exactly a year ago when Kionne McGhee told fellow commissioners that if the county didn’t quickly sell land valued at $31 million for just $4.5 million for a Costco store in his district, we’d lose Costco ..read more
