Miami Forever Bond Dashboard

Miami Forever Bond is a $400 million voter-approved bond program that invests in five key categories: Sea-Level Rise and Flood Prevention, Roadways, Parks and Cultural Facilities, Public Safety, and Affordable Housing throughout the City of Miami. The program allocates two percent of bond funding to issuance costs.

This dashboard provides a centralized view of projects funded through the Miami Forever Bond program. While some projects receive funding from additional sources, the financial information displayed reflects only the Miami Forever Bond portion of each project's funding. Residents can explore project budgets, spending, status, timelines, and overall progress to better understand bond-funded investments across the City. The dashboard increases transparency and gives residents easy access to project information.
