CUTLER BAY'S 15 YEAR ANNIVERSARY STORY SPOTLIGHT
Mission: Incorporation
By Nancy McCue

Nancy McCue, her husband Ed, and resident John Sykes led the way in the Town of Cutler Bay’s Incorporation as Chair, Co-Chair and Treasurer of the Cutler Ridge Steering Committee. Nancy recounts how the mission to incorporate was born and of the many residents that worked hard to achieve this goal.

Enough is Enough was the battle cry for several residents who were tired of their community being the dumping ground for the county’s undesirable projects. For my husband, Ed McCue, John Sykes, and me, it was the beginning of an eight-year odyssey culminating with the incorporation of the town of Cutler Bay.
