📰 News we're reading
1. Incinerator costs soar to $3B in Miami-Dade — $1B more than last estimate (miamiherald.com) — Doral’s long-running trash incinerator fight just got more expensive, with Miami-Dade’s proposed replacement plant now estimated at $3 billion and stalled in negotiations. Mayor Daniella Levine Cava is questioning the no-bid deal and urging commissioners to settle on a site, after Trump’s opposition to rebuilding in Doral derailed earlier plans and left the city’s future role in county waste burning unresolved. 
2. Miami-Dade joins Venezuela flood relief drive as donations surge (prismnews.com) — Doral plays a key role in Miami-Dade’s Venezuela flood relief, with the county sheriff’s office based on NW 25th Street and local neighborhoods deeply tied to Venezuelan families. Residents are being urged to prioritize monetary donations through county partners, while collection drives and potential first-responder deployments turn Doral into a hub for getting aid quickly to those affected overseas.
3. Miami-Dade deputies arrest 4 women at massage parlor in Doral (local10.com) — Undercover Miami-Dade deputies say they uncovered prostitution and unlicensed massage activity at a Doral shopping center, leading to the arrest of four women on Monday. The case centers on a business at 7930 NW 36th Street, with charges including unlicensed healthcare practice, prostitution, and lascivious acts, and two of the women held for federal immigration authorities.
4. Could AI Put Your Job at Risk? Here's Your Advantage (nar.realtor) — A Doral-based broker says local real estate agents who master AI, rather than fear it, will stay valuable by offering judgment, ethics and personal guidance that software can’t match. Industry voices nationwide argue AI will streamline tasks but not replace the human skills Doral buyers and sellers rely on, like negotiation, problem-solving and emotional support during complex deals.
5. There's a new county animal shelter coming to Miami-Dade. Here's what we know (miamiherald.com) — Miami-Dade’s overcrowded main animal shelter in Doral will stay the central intake site even as the county builds a new South Dade shelter to expand space and services. The Doral facility, already housing far more dogs than designed, will continue receiving surrendered and stray pets while the new location focuses on adoptions and veterinary care to ease pressure.
