The plan for an electric-bus depot in South Dade received a lift Tuesday when Miami-Dade County commissioners sustained Mayor Daniella Levine Cava’s veto of a rival proposal to instead bring an entertainment village to the county’s 47-acre property near Homestead.
Though commissioners last month dismissed Levine Cava’s objections when they passed a resolution endorsing a private company’s village plan, they backed off after the mayor issued the first veto of her term since winning the 2020 election.
A motion by sponsor Kionne McGhee to override the veto fell well short of the eight votes needed, with only two commissioners joining McGhee in opposing the mayor.
