Military Miami-Dade is a program of The Beacon Council that serves as a liaison to the Florida Defense Alliance and Enterprise Florida. Military Miami-Dade’s goal is to enhance, expand and retain existing military installations in Miami-Dade County, to support local reuse efforts as a result of base/mission closures or realignments and to retain and enhance the defense-related industries that contribute significant economic benefit to the local economy.
About Military Miami-Dade
Military Miami-Dade is comprised primarily of the participation of the Military Affairs Committees and Council of Chamber South, Greater Homestead/Florida City Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce and local economic development organizations such as the Economic Development Council of South Dade. Military Miami-Dade also benefits from a strong partnership with Miami-Dade County. We are also fortunate to have public and private sector supporters and other volunteers who have a particular interest in the military.
Military Miami-Dade operates with grant funding provided by the State of Florida for the purpose of protecting and enhancing the State’s military industry. In keeping with its mission, Military Miami-Dade has successfully worked with its partners to welcome new units, such as Special Operations Command and the Coast Guard Maritime Safety and Security Team to Miami-Dade County.
Through the Florida Defense Reinvestment Grant, Military Miami-Dade has recently focused on connecting local small businesses to military installations and assisting them in navigating the processes of doing business with the military. The Defense Industry Cluster Study, published in 2017, identified a variety of opportunities for businesses to partner with military entities and develop collaborative solutions to overarching challenges.
In establishing and supporting Military Miami-Dade, the Beacon Council acknowledges the economic impact of the military in Miami-Dade County.
