CODESIGNATION - WILFREDO ‘WILLY’ GORT WAY

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-16 · resolution

The Miami-Dade County Commission considered the codesignation of a portion of Northwest 14th Avenue between Northwest 28th Street and Northwest 26th Street as "Wilfredo ‘Willy’ Gort Way". The City of Miami had previously passed a resolution approving this codesignation. The County Commission was asked to approve the City's codesignation and direct the installation of new signage. The item was deferred to no date certain by Commissioner Hardemon. The purpose of the codesignation is to honor Wilfredo Gort for his extensive public service and contributions to the community, including his roles as City Commissioner, Vice Mayor, and Acting Mayor of Miami, and his advocacy for various community groups.
