A group of mostly men in suits walked into the construction site of a private-public project in Miami on Wednesday morning. They held on to a shovel and posed for pictures in front of a “GROUNDBREAKING” sign with icons associated with the city, county, and a billionaire real estate developer.

MIAMI – Miami’s midnight curfew is back this weekend in an effort to save lives during the coronavirus pandemic, so celebrating New Year’s Eve in the city this year could mean having to plan ahead for a sleepover. Police officers will be enforcing Miami-Dade County’s midnight to 6 a.m. curfew more aggressively in Miami. Ron DeSantis’ suspension of fines and penalties order has been limiting the city’s punitive measures on violations of coronavirus safety measures since late September. Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava has said officers can issue citations and the county can collect the fines and penalties later. Miami officials released a statement on Thursday night saying businesses and individuals are subject to “enforcement actions.”
