As Dade Heritage Trust marks its 50th Anniversary, the organization recognizes  CCOSD  passion for preservation, commitment to smart and thoughtful development, and desire for a strong community involvement. 

Over the past few years, neighbors united to push back against un-compatible development. Along the way we  managed to save one of the oldest structures in the  South Dade neighbor (Caves Residence ).  Together we can continue to make a difference.
