Central County Redevelopment Planning Study Update June 28

The Palm Beach County Planning Division and the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council will conduct a public presentation to explain the initial findings of and to solicit additional input on the Palm Beach County Urban Redevelopment Area (URA) planning study. The session will be held on Thursday, June 28, 2007 at 6:30 p.m. in Room VC-1W-47 of the new Vista Center Complex, located at 2300 N. Jog Road, West Palm Beach.

The URA is comprised of approximately 35 square miles in the heart of developed Palm Beach County. It is bounded generally by Okeechobee Boulevard on the north, I-95 on the east, Lake Worth Road on the south and Jog/Haverhill roads on the west.

The URA study contains many recommendations for sustainable redevelopment of the area with particular emphasis on the Military Trail and Congress Avenue corridors. Interested residents, business owners, stakeholders, municipal government officials, urban designers, planners, engineers, commercial lenders, economists and builders are encouraged to attend and provide input and ideas toward successful implementation of redevelopment initiatives. Participation of professionals and concerned citizens will play a vital role in advancing a comprehensive infill and redevelopment program for Palm Beach County.
