Opa-locka West Airport (FAA LID: X46) was a county-owned public airport located 12 miles (19 km) northwest of the central business district of Miami, a city in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. It covered an area of 420 acres (170 ha) which contained two asphalt paved runways: 9/27 measuring 3,000 x 60 ft (914 x 18 m) and 18/36 measuring 3,000 x 60 ft (914 x 18 m).The airport opened in 1970 and was designed to relieve congestion at the nearby Opa-locka Airport. There was no public access to the airfield by land, and it served as a remote area for touch-and-go training. Light twin-engine aircraft such as the Cessna 310 were the largest used at this airport. There were no storage facilities and no aircraft based at the airport. Expansion was limited due to the presence of wetlands. The airport had 12,100 general aviation aircraft operations in the year 2002, an average of 33 per day.The airport was badly damaged by Hurricane Wilma in October 2005. Miami-Dade County announced that the airport would be decommissioned in June 2006. The county planned to use the land as a quarry, with an estimated yield of 47 million cubic feet (1,300,000 m3) of limestone worth between $500 million and $1.2 billion.Countyline Dragway, a one-eighth mile drag racing strip sanctioned by the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA), operated at the former airport site from January 2007 to May 2014. It was located at the intersection of U.S. Route 27 (Okeechobee Road) and Krome Avenue, just south of the Miami-Dade/Broward county line.

Pennsuco is a former rural community in Miami-Dade County, Florida, along the Miami Canal and U.S. Route 27. It was established in 1920 by the Pennsylvania Sugar Company, which built a sugar cane plantation and sugar mill, and a self-contained community housing employees and their families. The sugar operation failed by 1925, largely due to a series of floods and killing frosts which ruined crops; the land was then adapted for regular truck farming until 1931, when the company ended operations at the site. A post office operated here until 1933, and the area continued as a farming community. Today the area has become suburban, with the northern portion annexed by Hialeah Gardens and the southern portion industrialized and unpopulated. Virtually all of Pennsuco's old structures are no longer standing, but the name survives with Pennsuco Industrial Park and the Pennsuco Canal.
