Governor Ron DeSantis Reveals Where President Trump’s Presidential Library Will Be Built

The location for President Trump’s presidential library has been revealed.

Governor Ron DeSantis has revealed that Trump’s new presidential library will be built in Miami, Florida.

However, in true Trump fashion, the library is expected to be part of a larger development that will include a new hotel nearby.

NBC News reported more details on Trump’s plans for his presidential library:

Donald Trump’s future presidential library will be housed in downtown Miami at a location selected, in part, because of its proximity to the Freedom Tower, a landmark that played a significant role in helping Cuban refugees migrating to Florida.

Trump’s team has for months been eyeing Florida, where the president is a resident, as the location for the library, which they also hope can be part of a larger development that will include an adjacent hotel. It would be the first presidential library to also be home to a hotel development.

NBC News reported in March that Eric Trump and top Trump adviser Steve Witkoff had made trips to South Florida for site visits to Florida International University, which is in Miami-Dade County, and Florida Atlantic University, located in neighboring Palm Beach County. They met with Gov. Ron DeSantis, who had been lobbying to make Florida home to the Trump library.

Both lost out, however, and the formal location will be housed on land currently owned by Miami-Dade College, adjacent to the Freedom Tower and located on the city’s downtown waterfront.

“The final decision was made by the Trumps,” a Trump adviser involved in the process said. “Without question, being near the Freedom Tower was important, but also being on the waterfront.”

The Miami-Dade College location was selected after a site visit by Eric Trump and his team, according to a second person familiar with the process, which ultimately helped clinch the decision. It was selected over Florida Atlantic University.

The formal decision to dedicate the land for the library will be voted on next week by the Florida Cabinet, which includes DeSantis and three other Republican statewide elected officials. The vote is expected to be unanimous, which will formally start the process of bringing Trump’s library to Miami.

Next week, the Florida Cabinet will vote to dedicate land at Miami Dade College to house the Presidential Library of Donald J. Trump. I’ll be voting yes!

The Independent reported on what other sites were considered:

Florida officials welcomed the announcement on Tuesday, the same day the land’s current owner, Miami-Dade College, voted to transfer the acreage to the state.

“I can think of no better location to tell the story of Donald Trump,” Florida Attorney General James Uthemeier said in a video posted on X. “A story of strength, one of redemption, one of victory, and one of sacrifice for the American people.”

The Florida Cabinet, a four-member body including Uthemeier and Trump ally Gov. Ron DeSantis, is set to vote on the plan next week.

“President Trump has achieved results for the American people and made a lasting impact on our nation’s history,” DeSantis said in a statement announcing the planned vote.

The location reportedly beat out other candidates in Trump’s adopted home state, including Florida International University and Florida Atlantic University.
