The search for a location for former President Donald Trump’s presidential library is intensifying in South Florida, with top targets being Florida Atlantic University and Florida International University. Site selectors have been scoping out potential locations for months, and both universities are lobbying heavily to win the site, even potentially donating land for the library. Trump’s team is also interested in having a new hotel associated with the library. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is involved in discussions with Trump regarding possible locations for the library.
However, there are also sites not affiliated with a university under consideration. The White House has confirmed that South Florida is the focus of the presidential search. There is a bill in the Florida Legislature that would allow Republicans in Tallahassee to have oversight over decisions about presidential libraries, potentially boxing out local Democratic officials in South Florida from the decision-making process.
There have been tours of potential sites by Eric Trump, along with other officials, at both FAU and FIU. The state is clamoring for the chance to host Trump’s presidential library, with efforts to ensure that Florida becomes the home of the library. Talks between Trump and DeSantis will likely include discussion of non-university sites as well. Despite some opposition from lawmakers, both institutions are seen as desirable locations for the library.
