County commissioners in Miami-Dade recently passed an item that gives Mayor Daniella Levine Cavaâs office 60 days to complete a study about the potential effects of a business reciprocity agreement between Miami-Dade and Monroe counties, potentially signaling that Keys businesses could be given local preference for public projects within Miami-Dade County. Broward and Palm Beach counties are also now part of the proposal.
The item passed despite opposition from some commissioners, who said that they should worry strictly about Miami-Dade businesses and not those from neighboring counties. It was pointed out that this resolution only requires that a study be conducted about the potential effects of such an agreement.
