MIAMI-DADE COUNTY IS GETTING A NEW CIVIL COURTHOUSE...but what about the old one?
The commission agreed that the new courthouse will be between NW 1st Street and West Flagler Street. It will be built on parking lots and green space between the library plaza and the existing courthouse. The next step is to solicit developers for the project. A bright and shiny new developer is asking for $30 million a year to build and run the courthouse. The County expects to offset the expense by selling the old courthouse as a hotel or whatever else will make money.
