Florida’s plan to develop the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library in Miami is moving forward.
Governor Ron DeSantis (R) and the Florida Cabinet passed a proposal to create the library in a 2.63-acre parcel in Miami-Dade County. The agenda item was part of the September 30 meeting.
The land is currently used as an employee parking lot for Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus.
“Having the Trump Presidential Library in Miami will be good for Florida, for the city, and for Miami Dade College,” DeSantis said in a statement. “No state has supported the president’s agenda more than the Free State of Florida, and I was proud to spearhead the effort to house this historic library right here in his home state.”
“It was an honor to vote in favor of making Florida the future home of President Trump’s Presidential Library,” said Attorney General James Uthmeier. “I look forward to the patriotic stories the Trump Library Foundation will showcase for generations to come in the Free State of Florida.”
Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia said he “proud to approve the conveyance of land next to the historic Freedom Tower, a symbol of freedom for so many, for the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library,” explaining that the president’s “historic accomplishments have forever changed our country for the better, and we look forward to welcoming visitors from around the world to learn about his legacy of patriotism. This enshrines Florida as Trump Country.”
Eric Trump, son of President Trump, said he was “extremely proud to announce a UNANIMOUS vote by the Florida Cabinet for the conveyance of land for the [Donald Trump Trump] Presidential Library which will be located in… MIAMI, FLORIDA!”
“It will be the greatest Presidential Library ever built, honoring the greatest President our Nation has ever known,” he wrote on X.
