The new legislation set for a vote aims to ease a ban imposed in 2018, allowing Miami-Dade to divert property taxes to support the American Dream Miami project. While it won’t allocate direct subsidies, it enables funding for $60 million in local infrastructure costs, which were previously the developers’ responsibility.
Jeffrey Bercow, lawyer and lobbyist, expressed strong opposition to the proposed financial assistance, questioning, 'Why should the county fund a private developer's infrastructure obligations?' His comments reflect broader concerns about public dollars being used to benefit private enterprises.
