Has Rockstar stated that Grassrivers is based on the Florida Everglades, or is that community inference?

WHY IT'S OPEN
What Rockstar has and hasn't said
Rockstar describes Grassrivers as a wetlands of mangroves, alligators, airboats, and pier-built structures, with the Vice City skyline visible in the distance. The Florida Everglades parallel circulating in coverage and community channels is inference based on visual cues — none of which is unique to the Everglades. As of this entry's creation, no first-party Rockstar / Take-Two source reviewed by this publication names Florida or the Everglades as the inspiration for Grassrivers.
