HOLE IN THE DOUGHNUT CONVEYANCE

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

Miami-Dade County Commissioners approved the 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 conveyance is at no cost, and provisions regarding appraisals were waived. An amendment to the resolution addresses the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department's continued need for approximately 2 acres until June 2027, with the remaining balance to be conveyed immediately. A request to convey five acres to the Sheriff's Office was not incorporated. The resolution passed with an 11-0 vote. Public comment was not explicitly stated in the provided text, but discussions involved ensuring the Air Force had full access to the runway and addressing the Fire Rescue Department's needs.
