Could Museum Park be Home to the Tallest Flagpole in the Entire Country?

American Flag

A Coral Gables billionaire, Mike Fernandez, has a vision to construct the tallest flagpole in the country standing at 425 feet tall and 14 feet in diameter, right here in Miami.  This flagpole will be a $10 Million project and would proudly wave the American flag.  Now, this is not merely a vision since Mr. Fernandez has already started the process of looking for the perfect site in Miami.  After touring many different sites in Miami a few weeks ago, Mr. Fernandez has made his decision that he wants to place the flagpole on the southeast corner of Museum Park.  Museum Park is located in the heart of Downtown Miami right beside the American Airlines Arena.  Museum Park was just recently opened to the public on June 14, 2014 and has already become a popular landmark in Downtown Miami.

At this point, the placement site of the largest flagpole in the country is not yet official since it must be approved by the City of Miami.  According to the Miami Herald, Miami Commissioner, Marc Sarnoff, is not sold on the idea of the placement of the flagpole at Museum Park.  Mr. Fernandez has already stated that he will be putting up the flagpole somewhere, at this point, the location is still up in the air!
