State of South Dade 2024 – Hialeah

New communication tower coming to Hialeah

City: Hialeah 

Population: 220,490 (2021)

Mayor: Esteban Bovo, 61 

How Long In Office: Bovo was elected in November 2021 for a four-term 

Primary Goals for 2024: Making sure the underground water pipes work correctly in order to bring new businesses to Hialeah.

Quote: “Well, they’re all important. No, no doubt about it. And I don’t think you could, you know, say one is more than another. But if you force me, I would say it’s really the one that you don’t see; it’s the underground water pipes that we build, and invest in water and sewer, because that’s what allows us to bring in more development. That’s what allows us to bring in more businesses. And without that investment on the private end, then taxes here would spiral out of control, and we would fall short of the things that we need to do as a government.” 

Primary Accomplishments 2023: Investing in police and fire, new 911 communication tower Quote: “So what have we done over the last year, we’ve invested in police and fire, police and fire equipment. We’ve invested in the 911 operation, to continue the improvements. A brand new communication tower will help our first responders be able to facilitate and do the things that they need to do. And that’s public safety and security.”
