The Miami-Dade County Commission officially approved the proposal to rename Hialeah's Palm Avenue as "President Donald J. Trump Avenue" in honor of the legacy of the former President of the United States, who will return to the White House in January 2025.
This initiative, spearheaded by Hialeah Mayor Esteban Bovo Jr. and supported by Commissioner Kevin Cabrera, aims to honor Trump and his impact on the community.
"I want to acknowledge the commissioners who supported this proposal, as well as the Hialeah City Council, which backed this idea since President Trump's visit to our city," Bovo stated in a statement posted on social media platform X.
Additionally, he emphasized the collaboration with the county and expressed his enthusiasm for Trump's upcoming visit for the official inauguration ceremony.
Commissioner Kevin Cabrera, who led the initiative, stated that this name change acknowledges Trump's fight for the principles of "freedom, prosperity, and opportunity," according to the statement.
"President Trump is the true example of public service. Renaming Palm Avenue immortalizes his legacy forever. Future generations who travel this road will remember his contribution to these values," Cabrera stated.
According to Bovo, this designation is a tribute to Trump's unwavering commitment to putting the United States first and prioritizing the needs of the American people.
The decision also reflects the deep admiration of the Hialeah community for the former president, who has been recognized as a key leader by many of its residents.
Cabrera stated on the social network X: "The President Donald J. Trump Avenue is official in Miami-Dade County! Today, we reaffirm the City of Hialeah's initiative to honor President Trump's legacy of defending freedom and opportunities by jointly designating Palm Avenue, a vital artery in our community, as 'President Donald J. Trump Avenue'."
He added that "Miami-Dade County strongly supported President Trump during the elections, and this designation serves as a lasting tribute to his leadership and vision for our nation."
A few days ago, the city of Hialeah, in Miami-Dade County, sought the support of county commissioners to rename one of its main thoroughfares, Palm Avenue, to "President Donald J. Trump Avenue."
"Thanks to the support from the Hialeah City Council, Palm Avenue, which divides the east and west of the city, will now be called PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP AVENUE," Bovo expressed in an Instagram post, celebrating the approval of the initiative.
In November, the mayor of Hialeah announced his plans to rename one of the city's avenues in honor of Trump.
"You have always kept your promises to this great nation, and next week I will ask the council to approve a street named after you, Donald Trump Way," Bovo stated before thousands of people during the Republican magnate's political rally held on November 8th.
