Andrew Ruiz on the West Palm Beach Golf Course: City is exploring options

Here is a link to the news segment by Andrew Ruiz at NBC5/WPTV. Here are two excerpts from the text of the article:
     Plans to expand or improve West Palm Beach's municipal golf course went before city commissioners Tuesday morning.
     Right now the city is trying to figure out what it is going to do with its nearly 200-acre golf course near Forrest [sic] Hill Boulevard and I-95. [emphasis added]
     The city says the development is in some serious need of repair. This year they had to tear down its club house after a visit from county health officials; repairs weren’t made because of the lack of funds to fix it.
[and. . .]
     City officials are trying to revitalize this part of town. They own a property at 8111 South Dixie Highway, it is blocks from the course. A presentation of the property could include a marina and residential space.
The property referenced above, 8111 South Dixie Hwy, is just north of Lake Worth on the other side of the C-51 Canal (south of the Winn-Dixie).
