CITY-COUNTY TEAM UP TO SECURE FEDERAL FUNDING FOR PORT OF MIAMI DEEP DREDGE PROJECT

(Miami-Dade) July 13, 2010 - Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez asked community leaders today to send a message to Washington about one of South Florida's most critical infrastructure improvement projects, the Port of Miami Deep Dredge project, which would deepen Miami Harbor to - 50 feet to accommodate the world's largest cargo container vessels.

The Mayor has joined forces with City of Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado and other local elected and business leaders in seeking $75 million in federal funding to move the project forward.
