Miramar State of the City

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR MIRAMAR STATE OF THE CITY By Mayor Wayne M. Messam

Every year I have the honor of presenting the State of the City address to our residents and business community. It’s a tradition I began when I was elected mayor in 2015. This visual report highlights the successes of Miramar over the past fiscal year, the economic development progress of our economy and the investments made in our city to enhance and sustain a high quality of life for our residents. This year’s State of the City address will be hosted by Space Coast Credit Union in their Miramar headquarters at the Miramar Park of Commerce at 5:30 PM on November 10, 2021. Space Coast Credit Union is located at 10600 Marks Way, Miramar, FL.

Despite the tremendous impact of the pandemic on our city, I am pleased to share that the State of Miramar is Strong. This year’s address will feature success stories in Economic Development, shed light on our Business Climate, provide updates on Resident Services, Impacts and Responses to COVID-19, highlight our opportunities and the future of Miramar. It is without question that Miramar remains on fire. The 2020 census has our population growth to nearly 150,000 residents and our economy remains one of the fastest growing in America with the continued addition of high paying jobs. Industry-leading companies continue to move to Miramar with salaries averaging $80,000. If you have never attended any of my State of the City addresses, I encourage you to do so. Trust me, you will learn so much about your city. Did you know Miramar received the highly coveted “All America City Designation” and one not but two Smart City Awards being one of only 50 cities worldwide to do so? Find out how we did it at this year’s State of The City address. You may RSVP here: sotc2021.eventbrite.com

As I reflect on the progress of the city and our response to the pandemic, I am just as resolved in continuing to lead the city commission and city the administration as I am to ensure that we invest in the future of Miramar. We have already begun the planning and groundwork necessary to prepare for the next twenty years and beyond. We must continue our momentum, we cannot rest. We must continue to make the bold moves today that will secure our competitive advantage in the future.
