A new report names Homestead among the cities that could see CRA funding shrink if Florida’s Amendment 3 passes in November. The city’s CRA uses property tax growth to support projects like downtown storefront grants and redevelopment efforts. Supporters say the measure would provide significant property tax relief to homeowners, while opponents warn the lost revenue could mean cuts to services or shift more costs to renters and businesses. The amendment would need 60% voter approval to pass.

Think you know Homestead? The Homestead Heritage Puzzle Trail gives locals and visitors a different way to explore the city with a self-guided scavenger hunt that starts at Losner Park.

Instead of following a tour guide, participants receive digital instructions by email and set off at their own pace. Along the way, you'll follow clues, solve puzzles, complete photo and video challenges, and search for local landmarks and hidden gems. Depending on the route, you'll travel between stops on foot or by car.

There's no scheduled group meetup or in-person guide, so you can make the experience your own. Go with the family, turn it into a date, bring a group of friends or coworkers, or tackle the challenge solo. A remote host is also available by message if you get stuck.

The experience includes the scavenger hunt, digital clues, challenges, and remote support. Food, transportation, parking, and any attraction admission fees aren't included, so keep that in mind when planning your adventure.

📅 Date: Multiple dates available
📍 Starting Location: Losner Park, Homestead
🧩 Experience: Self-guided scavenger hunt
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Good for: Families, couples, friends, coworkers and solo explorers

Early Voting Ends Sunday: Homestead Is Open Until 7 P.M. Today

Today is your last chance to take advantage of the later early-voting hours before the weekend schedule shifts to 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eligible Miami-Dade voters can vote at any early-voting location, so it’s worth checking your sample ballot, grabbing an accepted photo ID with your signature, and looking at current wait times before heading out. Already have a vote-by-mail ballot? Don’t cut it close. It must be received by the Supervisor of Elections by 7:00 p.m. Tuesday to count, so be sure to follow the Elections Department’s return instructions rather than relying on regular mail to get it there in time.

📅 Date: Friday, August 14, 2026; Final weekend: Saturday-Sunday, August 15-16, 8:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m.
⏰ Time: 11:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.
