Overview
- State leaders voted unanimously to designate a 2.63-acre site beside Miami’s Freedom Tower for the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library.
- Miami Dade College had unanimously transferred the parking-lot parcel to the state last week, with the property reported as appraised at roughly $66–67 million.
- The conveyance includes a clause allowing the state to revoke the grant if the foundation does not move forward within five years.
- Gov. Ron DeSantis and senior officials praised the plan as a public and economic benefit, while Eric Trump announced the decision and lauded the project.
- Protesters and local critics rallied at the Freedom Tower, citing the site’s symbolism and student needs, as a new state law limits local authority over presidential library developments.
