TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Today, Governor Ron DeSantis, along with unanimous support of the Florida Cabinet, passed an agenda item to convey a 2.63-acre parcel in Miami Dade County adjacent to the Freedom Tower for the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library.
“Having the Trump Presidential Library in Miami will be good for Florida, for the city, and for Miami Dade College,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “No state has supported the President’s agenda more than the Free State of Florida, and I was proud to spearhead the successful effort to house this historic presidential 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.”
“As the home state of President Trump, Florida is grateful for his immense contributions,” said Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia. “I am 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. President Trump’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.”
“Florida is President Trump’s home state, and there is no more fitting place for his Presidential Library,” said Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson. “I was proud to vote in support of bringing this historic tribute to Florida, where his legacy can be honored for generations.”
The agenda item was part of the September 30, 2025, meeting of the state’s Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund (Board). The Board—comprised of the Governor as Chair, the Attorney General, the Chief Financial Officer, and the Commissioner of Agriculture—was established in 1855 and is responsible for the acquisition, management, protection, and disposition of state lands.
The parcel is currently utilized as an employee parking lot for Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus. With the Board’s approval today, the site will allow additional economic development opportunities across South Florida and become the first Presidential library established in the state, providing generations of Americans the ability to honor the service and legacy of America’s 45th and 47th President, Donald J. Trump.
