Another big project coming to downtown Homestead, join the City in this groundbreaking new addition to the MDC Homestead campus.

The City of Homestead and Miami Dade College (MDC) will embark on the next step in revitalizing Downtown Homestead by memorializing a property transfer for MDC’s future Student Success Center across from City Hall. A Signing Ceremony will take place Wednesday, Aug. 7, at 3:30 p.m., in the Council Chambers at Homestead City Hall, 100 Civic Court, Homestead, FL.

The signing ceremony will include Homestead’s Mayor and City Councilmembers, MDC’s President Dr. Eduardo J. Padrón, MDC’s Homestead Campus President Dr. Jeanne F. Jacobs, and other key stakeholders. A reception will take place immediately following the signing ceremony.

The Student Success Center will convene Homestead’s business community and MDC’s students, providing students with workforce and business skills training vital for successful careers. It further advances the vision to catalyze Downtown Homestead by bringing the Homestead Campus’ more than 15,000 students closer to the business community in the heart of the city.

Recently, Homestead Main Street was invited to participate in a "Fly In", to Washington, DC to talk to our elected officials about the issue of deferred maintenance in our national parks. Homestead is the proud Gateway City to two national parks, Everglades NP and Biscayne NP, and greatly benefits from the visitors who come to see these two national treasures. The discussions were in support of the National Park Service Legacy Act which would dedicate funding to the national parks' crumbling infrastructure. The Act would create a National Park Service Legacy Restoration Fund that dedicates money to NPS' list of highest priority projects. The Act would dedicate 80 percent to address non-transportation and 20 percent to address transportation projects. Money can't be used for land acquisition. There were teams from Tennessee, New Jersey and Florida. The Florida team included: Renee Kuhlman, Director of Policy Outreach, National Trust; Melissa Wyllie, Executive Director, Florida Trust for Historic Preservation; Christine Rupp, Executive Director, Dade Heritage Trust and Yvonne Knowles, Executive Director, Homestead Main Street.
