HIALEAH, Fla. — In a special meeting at its Hialeah campus on Tuesday, the Miami Dade College Board of Trustees voted unanimously to transfer more than two-and-a-half acres of land in downtown Miami to the state to build President Donald Trump’s presidential library.
The board first heard three-and-a-half hours of public comment about the sale of the land, located just off Biscayne Boulevard.
Those who support it say the honor and prestige the presidential library will have in South Florida, and its addition to the museums and Freedom Tower on Biscayne Boulevard, will bring economic benefits.
Some are opposed because of its location ― Freedom Tower was once a processing center for refugees fleeing Cuba ― and it being named after Trump, citing mass deportations and the language he has used about immigrants in the past.
