Alicia Arellano
About me:
I am Alicia Arellano and I’m running for Miami-Dade County Community Council 14; Subarea 144 . I'm running for Miami-Dade Community Council 14, sub area 144 to ensure the preservation of our local agriculture. Our community thrives on the dedication of our farmers and the natural beauty of our farmland. I am committed to supporting sustainable practices, smart development, protecting farmland from urban sprawl by holding the line, and fostering an environment where agriculture can flourish for generations to come.
I am active in my community. Along with my neighbors, I was successful in fighting a large developer who wanted to put 213 townhomes in a neighborhood where the smallest lot size is 2 ½ acres. We banded together and held meetings, had petitions signed and succeeded in limiting the development to 81 single-family homes. These townhomes did not fit within the rural community that we live in. This fight also led to an awareness of the impact all these new developments are having on our police and fire services. We keep adding residents and cars and continue to expect the same level of services without adding additional officers and fire rescue personnel. I have successfully advocated for additional police officers in the Hammocks Police District. I am the current Vice-Chair for the Hammocks Citizens Advisory Committee where we meet monthly to address community concerns and work to inform and educate citizens regarding the role of police in the community. I live and work in this community. I am committed to making sure the residents have a voice. I will fight for you and for our quality of life.
