What Is the Project Fund?
The Project Fund is Victor J. Rosario's signature economic proposal: a county-managed fund that channels revenue from tourism, nightlife, maritime operations, and county-run services directly back to Miami-Dade residents as quarterly payments.
No new taxes. No new debt. Revenue Miami-Dade already generates — redirected from intermediaries and corporate operators back to the people who live here.
Revenue Sources
- Tourism revenue — hotel taxes, visitor surcharges, convention center income
- Nightlife income (100%) — county-licensed venue and event fees
- Boat and yacht rental fees — regulated under the new maritime framework
- MDC Quarters hospitality revenue — county-owned lodging and food service
- County-run rideshare operations — competing with Uber/Lyft for airport and venue trips
The Quarterly Resident Statement
Every Miami-Dade resident enrolled in the Project Fund receives a quarterly statement showing exactly how much revenue was collected and what benefit payment they're receiving. Transparency is built in — this isn't a general fund that disappears into the budget.
The goal is to make Miami-Dade's economic growth tangible for every family — not just for developers, operators, and insiders.
How Is This Different?
Most government revenue programs increase taxes or fees on residents to fund services. The Project Fund does the opposite: it takes revenue from visitors and commercial operators and redirects it to residents.
Victor's vision: Miami-Dade is one of the most visited places on earth. Its 2.8 million residents should share in that prosperity — not just absorb the traffic, noise, and cost of living that comes with it.
