From a stalled 9/11 memorial to a final vote on RV rentals and community center upgrades, Miramar leaders are tackling several major decisions this week.

Missed the headlines? Here’s a midweek roundup of some of the top stories from your city:

• 9/11 memorial delays: The 9/11 & Veterans Memorial project at Miramar Regional Park is expected to approach $2 million in total cost — more than double the $980,000 estimate from 2021 — after the original contractor failed to finish the job. City commissioners will vote Wednesday on hiring a new company to complete the monument.
• Community center upgrade: Miramar commissioners will vote Wednesday on a $1.2 million roof replacement for the Sunset Lakes Community Center. The budget was approved at a September 2025 commission meeting.
• RV rentals ban: City leaders will vote Wednesday on an ordinance prohibiting RVs from being used as homes in residentially zoned neighborhoods. Complaints of rodents, blocked streets and infrastructure strain have been tied to the practice.
• Job fair Wednesday: The City of Miramar is hosting a free community job fair on May 20 connecting residents with employers across multiple industries. The event offers direct hiring opportunities, networking and career advancement.
• Memorial Day tribute: Miramar will honor 20 fallen military service members at a Memorial Day ceremony on Monday at 11:30 a.m. at the Miramar Regional Park 9/11 & Veterans Memorial.
• Orchestra concert announced: Miami rapper Ball Greezy is scheduled to perform an orchestra show on Saturday, Aug. 1, at the Miramar Cultural Center, with tickets starting at $91 and VIP meet-and-greet options at $156.
