NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A Miami-Dade community paid tribute to longtime community activist Georgia Jones-Ayers by naming a street in her name.
Georgia Jones-Ayers Way was unveiled during a ceremony in Northwest Miami-Dade, Friday.
Jones-Ayers, who died in 2015, founded the Alternatives Program, which offers things other than jail time for first-time offenders of non-violent crimes.
She also co-founded the Daily Bread Food Bank.
“She just played such a big role in this community. There’s no one quite like her,” said former Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Tom Petersen. “We all miss her tremendously, so today was just an opportunity to reflect on her and remember her.”
Georgia Jones-Ayers Way is located on Northwest 22nd Avenue from 79th to 135th streets.
