Miami-Dade commission votes to file eminent domain to acquire just under 10 acres on Fisher Island

Miami-Dade County commissioners voted 12-1 to use eminent domain to acquire nearly 10 acres on Fisher Island for a fuel facility supplying PortMiami. Commissioner Raquel Regalado opposed the move, citing concerns about inheriting an aging infrastructure, while others argued upgrading the site is more cost-effective. The decision follows unsuccessful negotiations and will trigger a 30-day statutory negotiation period with property owners.
