Court upholds decision to halt warehouse project over delays

Controversial plans to build a sprawling warehouse fulfillment center outside Miami-Dade County’s urban development boundary will have to start over after an appeals court Wednesday upheld a lower court decision.

Judges in Tallahassee agreed that Miami-Dade granted too many delays when considering the project.

To restart the project, developers will need to submit a new application.
