Overview

• The governor and Cabinet voted unanimously Tuesday to convey a 2.63-acre Miami Dade College parcel next to the Freedom Tower to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation.
• The waterfront lot, now an employee parking area, was appraised at about $66–67 million, while some reports cite potential market values far higher, including a $360 million estimate.
• The conveyance requires the foundation to advance the project within five years or risk revocation of the land grant by the state.
• The foundation is led by trustees Eric Trump, Michael Boulos and James Kiley, who will control the designated site.
• Protesters and local critics object to the location and loss of college land, as state leaders tout economic benefits following a new law that curtails local restrictions on presidential-library projects.
