Miami-Dade County commissioners have deferred their vote on the site for the new county incinerator. 

The previous waste-to-energy facility in Doral burned down last February.
 
During a meeting on Tuesday, Mayor Daniella Levine Cava maintained that the best option for the new facility was the former Opa-Locka West Airport in order to meet the county’s current and future disposal needs. 
 
But commissioners remain unconvinced – and have yet to achieve majority support for any of the four location options. They tabled the discussion until Nov. 6 to reconsider their options.
