TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida officials decided Tuesday to set aside nearly three acres of prime downtown Miami real estate next to the historic Freedom Tower as a potential site of the future presidential library of President Donald Trump.

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet voted to give the parcel appraised at more than $66 million to the foundation that’s planning the president’s post-administration archives, arguing that the property owned by the state-run Miami-Dade College would provide a “greater benefit to the public” and “increase economic development activities” as Trump’s library.
