Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida Cabinet unanimously approved a deal Tuesday to sell state land near Hialeah for American Dream Miami, planned as the nation’s largest shopping mall, despite objections that the land should have been put up for bids and that the state got too low a price.
Under the deal, the state will sell about 82 acres at the corner of Interstate 75 and the Florida Turnpike for $12.3 million. The Miami-Dade County school system will get $8.25 million for a lease on part of the land.
