The George Lindemann Journal by George Lindemann

Howard Frank neglected to mention that the Miami Art Museum is planned for a site that’s currently a waterfront public park. Using comparable sales data from the recent Genting land purchase, the city of Miami is providing MAM with a site worth well over $150 million. While the county is expected to provide $100 million, the true cost to the taxpayers will exceed $400 million because you must calculate the cost of debt service. Therefore, taxpayers are contributing well over $500 million to MAM even though it is scorned in the art world.
