County committee scheduled to vote on a 3.5 million dollar purchase of 10 acres in the South Dade Wetlands
Miami-Dade is moving toward buying 10 acres inside the South Dade Wetlands Project at Southwest 344th Street and Southwest 169th Avenue for 3.5 million dollars from the estate of Rachel M. Noto.

The Recreation, Tourism and Resiliency Committee was scheduled to vote, so this is an agenda item rather than a completed acquisition.
