On October 25, 2018, a three-judge panel in the Circuit Court Appellate Division heard Miami-Dade County’s appeal of the City of Miami Commission’s action, which voted 3-to-2 to overturn the near unanimous vote of their own Historic and Environmental Preservation Board (HEPB) in support of the County’s plan for the Coconut Grove Playhouse. 

The County’s position as presented can be seen here, in the briefs filed by the County Attorney’s Office. They present a compelling case that the City Commission’s actions should be overturned and the Historic and Environmental Board’s support of the Playhouse project should be upheld. As soon as a decision is issued by the court, an update will be posted.
