The Town of Miami Lakes held a meeting on July 9, 2025, where various community members presented proposals aimed at enhancing local culture and celebrating the town's upcoming 25th anniversary.

One notable presentation came from a small business owner of the Trellis Cottage, who is also a lifelong resident of Miami Lakes. The owner expressed a desire to collaborate with local artists to create a unique celebration for the town's milestone anniversary. The proposal included ideas such as designing a new logo specifically for the 25th anniversary, incorporating local art into public spaces, and potentially creating murals around the town.

The business owner emphasized the importance of public art in Miami Lakes and highlighted the wealth of talent among local artists. They also mentioned their own experience in partnering with local businesses and creating murals, underscoring a commitment to promoting both their shop and the broader community. Additionally, the owner shared their philanthropic efforts, noting that a portion of their proceeds supports autism organizations, reflecting a strong community focus.

The owner inquired about any developments regarding their previous proposal and expressed interest in being considered as a vendor at future events, suggesting that other local artists should also be invited to participate. This initiative aims to foster a sense of community and celebrate local talent as part of the anniversary festivities.

The meeting concluded with a call for further discussion on these proposals, indicating a willingness from the town council to explore ways to incorporate local art and support small businesses in the upcoming celebrations.
