From the Lake Worth Herald: Lake Worth CRA Awarded $72,700 SWA Grant for the Armory Art Annex

From this week's Lake Worth Herald is this news about another Lake Worth CRA grant:
     At their regular board meeting today (Feb.10.), the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County Governing Board approved seven projects totaling $500,000 for Blighted and Distressed Property Clean-up and Beautification Grants. The City of Lake Worth Community Redevelopment Agency was awarded $72,700 for the Armory Art Annex/Lake Worth Community Arts Center Exterior Improvements and Perimeter Fencing.
[and. . .]
     These improvements are to mitigate the amount of trash at the site and create a more welcoming experience for residents and visitors. Specific improvements include the addition of 450 linear feet of decorative perimeter fencing and gate around the former shuffleboard court area and 160 linear feet of vegetation covered fencing between the property and the railroad tracks. Additional improvements include the removal of an obsolete irrigation system, removal of old/dead plants, and planting of drought-resistant, low-maintenance ground covering.
