Palmetto Bay is a Miami suburban incorporated village in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. The population was 23,410 during the 2010 US census.
Palmetto Bay includes two neighborhoods that were former census-designated places, Cutler and East Perrine.
Media
The Village of Palmetto Bay is served by the Miami market for local radio and television. The Village has its own newspaper, The Palmetto Bay News, which is published bi-weekly and is part of Miami Community Newspapers. Additionally, The Miami Herald covers the Village in its South Dade edition of its "Neighbors" supplement.
Prior to 2012, the Village streamed its council meetings exclusively online. In early 2012, the Village expanded its video services to a government access TV network, WBAY, which offers a variety of local programming in addition to coverage of council meetings.
History
In August 1992, Palmetto Bay and the surrounding South Miami-Dade area were severely damaged by Hurricane Andrew. Many of the homes and businesses in Palmetto Bay were destroyed. In the subsequent years, the area was slowly rebuilt. Unlike the destroyed homes which were made of wood frame construction, the new homes and construction were rebuilt with concrete walls. Although many areas of Miami were heavily affected by Hurricane Andrew, Palmetto Bay was one of the worst affected and remains a reminder of the hurricane's extensive disaster in the city today.[1][2]
The village incorporated on September 10, 2002, taking the territory formerly held by the Cutler and East Perrine census-designated places.[3] Now that it's incorporated, attorneys and developers are able to become "officials" and make whatever zoning changes suits them, regardless of most local homeowners' desire for a quiet enjoyable neighborhood.
