Fisher Island Residents Sue Over Fuel Depot Deal

Fisher Island residents are suing developer HRP over a secret $400 million deal with Miami-Dade County to sell a fuel depot property, claiming it endangers families and schools with aging, code-violating tanks just feet from homes. HRP bought the land for $180 million and promised to demolish the depot and give four acres to the community—but now allegedly seeks to sell it to the county for $400 million over 20 years, bypassing community approval. Residents argue this puts them in “perpetual danger,” especially with the island’s limited access and a school just 2,000 feet away. This isn’t the first legal battle—FICA previously sued to block eminent domain, as the county wants the site for cruise ship fuel after its current lease expires in 2027.
