Miami Freedom Park, the future Inter Miami CF soccer stadium and a massive mixed-use development, received $8 million from Governor Ron DeSantis. The Florida Job Growth Grant Fund money will help with infrastructure around the stadium, including construction of a roadway. DeSantis said the Miami Freedom Park Drive project was worth the grant due to the amount of jobs, and traffic, it will create. About 131 acres in size, the $400 million Miami Freedom Park project will include a Major League Soccer stadium with 21,130 seats as well as 600,000 square feet of retail and entertainment space, 750 hotel rooms, a 400,000-square-foot tech district, a municipal administration building for the city of Miami, 5,530 parking spaces, a municipal administration building, and a 58-acre park, according to the county’s application.
