Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava has made a recommendation regarding the future location of a trash incinerator.

The mayor has recommended building the new incinerator at the existing location in Doral, where a fire led to the former plant's ultimate destruction in February of last year, instead of using an abandoned airfield in northern Miami-Dade County near Miramar.
In a statement to Local 10 News, Levine Cava said
"Our priority is to build a facility that is safe for people and the environment, can integrate seamlessly into the community and include our zero waste initiative, and does not create an undue burden for our rate payers. Following a final analysis of all available locations, the costs of relocating have proven to be extremely high, leading us to recommend the existing site in Doral as the location for a new Solid Waste Campus.
