\Miami-Dade County issued a proclamation this week officially recognizing June 5 as “Michael Bay Day” in Miami.
Bay has filmed two big-budget movies in Miami, Bad Boys, starring Will Will Smith, and Pain & Gain, starring Mark Wahlbrg, which is currently wrapping up production.
Both movies brought money, jobs, and local business to the city.
“The film and entertainment industry brings millions of dollars into our economy each year, creates thousands of jobs, and supports local businesses. Public recognition is a great way to show our appreciation and support for Michael Bay who has contributed so much to the growth and success of the film industry here in Miami-Dade County,” Commissioner Sally Heyman said in a release.
The proclamation will be awarded at 9:30 a.m. at the Stephen P. Clark Government Center.
