Here is a link to the news segment and an excerpt from the text of the story:
     This week the effort to expand and improve the Lake Worth Park of Commerce cleared a major hurdle.
     "We need a shot in the arm here in our tax base, so that we can take care of ourselves and be financially sustainable," said Lake Worth City Manager Michael Bornstein. "This is a great way to do it."
[emphasis added]
    
For years, a variety of businesses and industries has inhabited the area immediately west of I-95, between 10th Avenue North and Lake Worth Road. But leaders in the city and county, have long looked at the district for its potential of creating more jobs and boosting the tax base.
     "This has been around probably 20 years, people have talked about this spot," Bornstein said.
     But only now are things moving forward.
