The City of Miami is known as the “Magic City” and is the largest municipality in Miami-Dade County. Our world renowned skyline stretches across Biscayne Bay. According to the most recent US Census estimates (July 2015) 441,003 people call Miami home. Many of our residents come from Caribbean Islands and Central and South America. In fact, 70% of our population is Hispanic or Latino. The City of Miami is governed by Mayor Francis Suarez, City Manager Emilio Gonzalez and 5 City Commissioners who oversee their districts in the City including neighborhoods like Wynwood, Little Haiti, Little Havana and Brickell, which is the heart of our thriving financial district. The City has 4,864 employees working in 37 departments from Agenda Coordination to Zoning. We have 137 parks, 3 of which are designated National Forest Communities. There are Neighborhood Enhancement Team (NET) offices in 11 different communities providing convenient access to services. The Miami Trolley provides free transportation throughout the city and recently surpassed a major milestone - 5 million riders. We are the City of Miami - a great place to live, work and play!
Newburyport (18,000) is a vibrant coastal community rich in natural beauty as well as gracious Federalist architecture built with the whaling and clipper ship fortunes of this prolific 19th century seaport. The city is very proud of its history. The first tea party in opposition to England`s tax on tea was held in Newburyport, well before the more famous one in Boston. We are pleased to be the birthplace of the United States Coast Guard. The first ship commissioned for the Coast Guard, the frigate Massachusetts, was built in the City. Protective of its heritage, the City launched a massive redevelopment scheme in the early 1960s, using state and federal funds to reclaim its historic neighborhoods of granite, brick and cobblestones and provide up-to-date infrastructure such as water and sewer renovations.
Our mission is to provide responsive and fiscally responsible services for health, safety and quality of life for our citizens. We value to be a community rich with resources and opportunities today and for generations to come. More than 550,000 people call Volusia County home. Situated on the east coast of Central Florida, our 47 miles of Atlantic Ocean beaches are a world-class playground, with beachfront cities including Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach and New Smyrna Beach. Water sports are plentiful, but Volusia`s oceanfront communities are most famous for land sports. Early automotive pioneers such as Louis Chevrolet and Henry Ford enjoyed their leisure time in the sun and found that the hard-packed sand, gentle slope and wide expanse of Volusia`s beach was the perfect proving ground for early auto racing. Ormond Beach, in fact, is known as the "Birthplace of Speed." The racing tradition continues today at Daytona International Speedway, one of the world`s finest racing facilities and the home of the world-famous Daytona 500, an event larger than the Super Bowl. The scenic St. Johns River, famed for its bass fishing, links magnificent parks with wildlife preserves along the county`s western border. True southern charm can be found in DeLand, the county seat. This unique city features an award-winning downtown filled with antique shops and quaint restaurants, surrounded by stately historic homes and buildings. Volusia County is about an hour`s drive north of Disney World and the Kennedy Space Center. It`s also within a few hours` drive of other major Florida communities, such as Tampa (140 miles), Miami (250 miles), or Jacksonville (90 miles).
