HOLE IN THE DOUGHNUT CONVEYANCE

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Commissioners approved the conveyance of 32 acres of vacant, county-owned land adjacent to the Homestead Air Reserve Base to the United States Department of the Air Force for military purposes. The land, identified by portions of Folio Nos. 30-7901-000-0090, 30-7901-000-0210, and 30-7901-000-0220, was declared surplus and conveyed at no cost. The decision required a two-thirds vote, which was achieved with an 11-0 vote. The conveyance supports national defense interests and national security. Public comment was not explicitly detailed, but a discussion during the Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee meeting revealed concerns about the process and the need for clarification on district support, which were addressed by the sponsor. Water main extensions will be required for water connectivity to the property, and easements will be necessary.
