As part of its "Moving to a New Normal" process, Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez issued Emergency Order 23-20 allowing for the re-opening of non-essential businesses throughout the county, including Palmetto Bay, with some restrictions. To assist business owners in developing their own reopening protocols, the County Mayor has published this "Initial Reopening Plan" detailing the rules under which businesses may operate.
Palmetto Bay has been making contact with commercial owners within the Village to provide the county plan, along with information detailing the specific protocols that apply to their business type.
During a Virtual Special Council that took place on May 14th, the Village Council voted to reopen the two main parks in the Village; Coral Reef Park and Palmetto Bay Park. You can watch this short video by Mayor Cunningham informing residents of the meeting discussion and outcome.
