Coral Gables will join in a dispute between a developer, homeowners in a historic area of the city and Miami-Dade County over the development of a long-awaited community center.
The City Commission voted to allow the city attorney to include Coral Gables in a lawsuit between the project’s developer, Bahamian Village LLC, and the county. The item also urges the county commission to act quickly to settle the case and allow for completion of the center.
The plans for the center have been in the works for about a decade. The proposed center, at 280 S. Dixie Hwy., is also called Bahamian Village and is named after the Bahamians that settled in the MacFarlane Homestead Historic District of the city and helped develop Coral Gables.
