In the midst of a recession, and in a county that’s still smarting from a construction boom gone bust, upcoming public capital projects are expected to jumpstart the local economy.

Miami-Dade governments are gearing up to build everything from roads to museums to stadiums — and giving local companies a chance to get in on the action. Federal stimulus dollars are headed this way, and some elected leaders have crafted local stimulus plans to expedite other projects.
