Miami-Dade County’s leading economic development wing is riding high.
Established in 1985, the Beacon Council is an official public-private partnership responsible for driving new business investments throughout the county. The organization helps companies relocate to Miami-Dade by assisting in market research, site selection and workforce recruitment, as well as by negotiating new business deals to incentivize community benefits.
Amid a string of recent successes, a historic election to its board of directors and a search for a new CEO underway, the council is embarking on an exciting new trajectory.
Welcoming Growth
Beacon Council staff has a great deal to be proud of. The past couple of years have seen a corporate migration that is unprecedented even by South Florida standards, with leading tech companies continuing to migrate here from bustling metropolises in the Northeast region.
