At a glance: Medley May 2026 connected business activity with regional mobility and flood resilience, from a proposed Murphy USA site plan to a mayor-reported federal pump station award.
A business proposal on NW 74th Street
The May 4 Council agenda included a tentative plat for Murphy USA on about 3.42 acres at 8519 NW 74th Street. A tentative plat is part of the development review process. It is not the same as a finished project or a guarantee of construction. The agenda also listed a proposed street name honoring GA Telesis, a company with a Medley presence.
Transit can connect workers to opportunity
The agenda listed interlocal agreements with Miami-Dade County for circulator and on-demand transit services. Those proposals matter in a town where many people commute to industrial and logistics jobs. Better connections can make work, school and appointments easier to reach, especially for people who do not drive.
Flood protection is community protection
In an April 1 update published May 5, Mayor Stefano reported that Medley had secured $1.2 million in federal funding for pump station upgrades. She said the investment is intended to improve stormwater management, reduce flood risk and protect emergency access. That funding report came from the mayor’s office, so the next useful update for residents will be project timing and construction details.
Medley’s future is made up of specific choices about where businesses grow, how people travel, and whether streets remain usable after heavy rain.
The Hawks take it to the state stage
The Golden Hawks baseball team reached the state semifinal after winning district and regional titles. On May 9, Miami Springs beat Gulliver Prep 7–2 to advance, then ended its season with a 6–2 loss to South Walton on May 14, according to the May 10 report and the season recap. A season can end in disappointment and still leave a whole community proud. Medley’s May agenda listed development and public-service matters, including a tentative Murphy USA plat; listing on an agenda does not mean construction is complete.
