DeSantis unveils plans for Trump presidential library in Miami
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) on Tuesday announced an initiative to establish President Donald Trump’s presidential library in downtown Miami.
The Donald J. Trump Presidential Library would sit on a 2.63-acre parcel in Miami-Dade County adjacent to the historic Freedom Tower, according to a press release from the governor’s office. The land is currently used as an employee parking lot for Miami-Dade College’s Wolfson Campus.
“President Trump has achieved results for the American people and made a lasting impact on our nation’s history,” DeSantis said in a statement. “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.”
DeSantis will present the proposal for approval at a meeting with the governor’s Cabinet scheduled for next week.
The latest development comes after the state legislature approved a bill aimed at bringing Trump’s presidential library to Florida earlier this year. DeSantis signed off on the legislation, which preempts possible liberal efforts from local governments to block the development of a presidential library.
In a video posted to social media, Attorney General James Uthmeier said he could think of “no better location” to document Trump’s life.
“You better believe I’m voting yes,” Uthmeier said of the proposal slated to come before the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund. “Surviving two assassination attempts, securing the border, and rebuilding our nation’s military are just a few stories this great library will tell.”

“It is the greatest political comeback story in American history,” the attorney general said of Trump’s experience. “Florida will be blessed to house the library for one of our own state presidents and to be a part of such meaningful history.”
The board, comprised of the governor as chair, the attorney general, the chief financial officer, and the commissioner of agriculture, will take up the proposal at the Sept. 30 meeting. If approved, it will mark the first presidential library in Florida, where Trump resides and often convenes at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach.
