Governor and Cabinet to consider deeding 2.63-acre parcel adjacent to historic Freedom Tower for the first presidential library in Florida.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday that he will present a proposal to the state’s Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund to convey a 2.63-acre parcel of land in Miami-Dade County for the construction of the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library. The proposed site is located adjacent to the iconic Freedom Tower.
The proposal is scheduled for consideration at the upcoming September 30, 2025, meeting of the Board, which is comprised of the Governor, Attorney General, Chief Financial Officer, and Commissioner of Agriculture.
The Board is responsible for the management and disposition of state lands.
“President Trump has achieved results for the American people and made a lasting impact on our nation’s history,” said Governor DeSantis. “No state has better delivered the President’s agenda than the Free State of Florida, and we would be honored to house his presidential library here in his home state.”
The land, currently used as an employee parking lot for Miami-Dade College’s Wolfson Campus, would be the first site in Florida to house a presidential library.
Proponents of the project argue that it will spur economic development in South Florida and serve as a historical resource for future generations. If approved, the library would honor the service and legacy of Donald J. Trump, who served as the 45th and 47th President of the United States.
