HOLE IN THE DOUGHNUT CONVEYANCE

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

Miami-Dade County Commissioners approved the no-cost conveyance of approximately 32 acres of vacant, county-owned land adjacent to the Homestead Air Reserve Base to the United States of America, acting through the Department of the Air Force. The land, identified by portions of Folio Nos. 30-7901-000-0090, 30-7901-000-0210, and 30-7901-000-0220, will be used for military purposes to support national defense interests. The resolution was amended to address the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department's (MDFR) continued need for approximately 2 of the 32 acres until June 2027, after which this portion will also be conveyed. The conveyance requires a two-thirds vote. Public comment included concerns about the Sheriff's Office potentially needing five acres, which was clarified as not part of this conveyance. The item was vetted over three years, with support from local representatives and federal officials.
