Hold The Line!!

I am here for Networking

About Me

Hold the Line Campaign, is an alliance that includes over 100 municipalities, homeowner groups, businesses, and non-profit organizations working to "hold" Miami-Dade County's Urban Development Boundary (UDB) from development pressures. The UDB helps to recharge our drinking water supply by keeping lands unpaved, it preserves our agricultural lands, and protects Everglades and Biscayne National Parks from encroachment. The UDB also helps control flooding, school overcrowding and traffic congestion, especially in areas crucial for hurricane evacuation. Stand up for our quality of life and our future! Make sure that our existing communities don’t lose out to the pressures of big developers looking to make big money. ..
