Miami Lakes received a grant from the South Florida Water Management Department’s Cooperative Funding Program in the amount of $125,000 in an extremely competitive proposal process in which only 31 proposals from 94 applicants were funded.
The funding will supplement the Miami Lakes Lake Sarah Drainage Improvements Project located between Miami Lakeway South, State Road 924, Palmetto Expressway and N.W. 67 Avenue in the southeast residential area of the Town.
“This grant will enable Miami Lakes to move forward with important drainage improvements in some of our Town’s oldest neighborhoods,” said Mayor Michael Pizzi. “As the recent hurricane scare reminded everyone, preventing flooding through drainage improvements is a major priority for the Town.”
