During the meeting, the resolution was introduced to support the use of Opa-Locka’s historic City Hall as a temporary venue for the Florida Museum of Black History. The commission emphasized that this arrangement would not permanently alter City Hall’s function but would welcome the museum temporarily. The resolution aims to assist with the creation and convening of a governing board to oversee exhibitions and complete pre-development activities. The commission expressed excitement and support for the temporary hosting opportunity.

The city commission discussed the original intention of designating St. John’s County as the permanent site for the museum. However, representatives from 10 North Group presented findings suggesting that Opa-Locka is a more viable option. The site in St. John’s County was described as unsuitable due to its undeveloped swamp land and lack of infrastructure to support tourism. The commission’s resolution seeks to amend a Senate bill to replace St. John’s County with Miami-Dade County as the prospective permanent location.
