For the third consecutive meeting, Miami-Dade County commissioners postponed voting Tuesday whether to allow Flagstone Property Group to create a 50-slip mega-yacht marina on Watson Island.
Commissioner Bruno Barreiro proposed delaying the vote until November to allow for further review of modifications the developers made to project plans. Since the next chance for the commission to vote would be Nov. 28, commissioners will explore the possibility of a special session earlier in the month to address the project, which also includes a pair of high-rise hotels, shops and restaurants and a historical museum.
“There is a lot of information here to disseminate,” Mr. Barreiro said.
City of Miami officials and Flagstone developers have pushed to create the marina since 2001. The project has gained city approval and participation in more than 40 public meetings. City Manager Pete Hernandez and Miami Mayor Manny Diaz were at Tuesday’s meeting to endorse the project.
