It includes major industrial and logistics areas around Doral, Medley, Hialeah and the airport, a deep base of high-rise condos, and a large population of older homes and buildings.

Licensing, permits and the transition

Locally licensed trades go through the Miami-Dade County Construction Trades Qualifying Board, and the county's Product Control program issues the Notices of Acceptance (NOAs) used across the HVHZ.
