MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava unveiled plans on Monday for a new $33 million operations center set to open next year at Miami International Airport.

Levine Cava said the center will have AI-powered, long-range pan-tilt-zoom cameras, real-time digital tower technology, and a massive HD-quality integrated panoramic video wall.

“This will be the nerve center,” said Ralph Cutié, the director and chief executive officer of Miami International Airport.

Levine Cava said the 13,254-square-foot facility will improve efficiency among representatives of 30 local and federal agencies. The center is set to open next year.

“Any kind of emergency situation that arises, they will all be together,” Levine Cava said.
