About Thrive305

Thrive305 is the largest public engagement initiative in Miami-Dade County government history. The guiding principle behind Thrive305 is simple – that government works best when it’s driven, informed, and led by the people who it represents.

Thrive 305 Goals

Thrive305 launched in January 2021 with the following goals:

Strengthen community partners working on behalf of marginalized communities by creating opportunities for collaboration with County government.
Ensure that resident priorities and ideas identified through the Thrive305 process are meaningfully incorporated into the workings of government, including the County’s budget and strategic planning process.
Gather hard data – both qualitative and quantitative – on resident priorities across all Miami-Dade County communities around key policy issues, with a focus on the County’s most pressing challenges.
Empower residents to inform, inspire, and hold County government accountable to the residents.

The Thrive305 Vision

Thrive305 is just the beginning of a Miami-Dade County government that works for all. This Action Plan, which elevates 12 key priorities that we heard from residents over the course of our engagement process and converts them into actions for our administration, is a testament to our government’s approach to getting things done. Together, we will build the Miami-Dade that we all deserve, and one that thrives for generations to come.
