The Florida Legislature has approved $3.5 million dollars towards the construction of the new South Miami police headquarters and Emergency Operations Center.
The state-of-the-art facility is being built on the site of the former inspection station on SW 69th Street just west of 59th Place.
The new project includes a new headquarters building for the SoMi police department as well as a hurricane-hardened emergency operations center.
Both State Representative Demi Busatta Cabrera and State Senator Ileana Garcia fought for the project funding.
The only step remaining before the City receives the money is the approval of the Governor.
