The Miami-Dade County Commission voted Tuesday to approve a land deal for the development of what would be the nation's largest mall.
The proposed mega-mall, American Dream Miami, would cost approximately $4 billion to build and would occupy 200 acres of west Miami-Dade. The park would contain aquatic attractions such as an indoor ski slope, a water park and a submarine ride.
The land deal allows Triple Five -- the mall's developer -- to purchase the 82 acres of Miami-Dade property owned by the state.

Area where mall would be built is not allowed to use Biscayne Aquifer, per Chair Monestime. Thus need to use new Hialeah water plant.
