Miami’s unsurpassed business environment and infrastructure support its role as the “Business Gateway to the Americas.” Miami-Dade is the leading County for conducting business between the United States, South America, Central America, and the Caribbean.

South Miami-Dade County is emerging as a highly attractive and viable option to business and residents alike. A place with Big City Skills and Small Town Values.

The Economic Development Council’s service region is located 15 miles south of Downtown Miami and just north of Florida Keys, close enough to have all the amenities of a large metropolitan area and far enough away to retain the small town values that make it a desirable place to live. Readily accessible by the Florida Turnpike and US-1, it is a diversified community offering a varying range of income levels, business opportunities and recreational amenities.
