Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins announces $150,000 towards the SafeSummers Program, a District 8-funded initiative designed to provide local, community-based organizations with resources to offer full-time, summer camps and programming for the children of District 8. The primary objective of the program is to create a safe and engaging environment that keeps our youth off the streets during the summer months.
Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins successfully secured another $6 million in funding for the South Dade Trail during the 2023 Florida Legislative Session.
