Sept. 23 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump has proposed building his presidential library in downtown Miami, but it needs state approval to transfer land owned by Miami Dade College.

Florida's Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund will take up the land transfer matter during its Sept. 30 meeting, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced in a news release on Tuesday.

"President Trump has achieved results for the American people and made a lasting impact on our nation's history," DeSantis said.

"No state has better delivered the president's agenda than the free state of Florida," he continued.

"We would be honored to house his presidential library here in his home state."

The proposed 2.63-acre site is adjacent to Miami's Freedom Tower on its south side and was among three properties owned by Florida state universities that Trump was considering for the future site of his presidential library, Axios reported.

Miami Dade College uses the parcel for employee parking for its Wolfson campus, which would house the state's first presidential library if the property transfer occurs.

The property transfer would create opportunities for economic development, according to DeSantis.

The governor's announcement ended speculation on where the Trump presidential library will be built.

Properties owned by Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton and Florida International University in Miami also were considered for Trump's presidential library.
