Miami-Dade County commissioners have deferred their vote on the site for the new county incinerator.
The previous waste-to-energy facility in Doral burned down last February.

But commissioners remain unconvinced – and have yet to achieve majority support for any of the four location options. They tabled the discussion until Nov. 6 to reconsider their options.
