The fate of a proposed headquarters hotel for the soon-to-be-renovated Miami Beach Convention Center now rests with the city’s voters.
Miami Beach commissioners on Wednesday unanimously voted to hold a public referendum in March whether the city should lease the land behind The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater.
The lease needs 60 percent approval, which proponents felt was too high of a hurdle to clear in September, as the 2015 election season was heating up.
