The NEW Lake Worth Casino building was built seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line
Ahead of the Tide – Chapter 4: Coastal Development from CAVU on Vimeo.
The Lake Worth Casino was built without pilings and without an examination and reinforcement of the seawall. That was more than a $6 million public investment that could ultimately wash away. The former city commission at the time designing the building consciously made that choice. Some think that the building shouldn't get a final certificate of occupancy until the seawall is evaluated as required by the Florida Building Code.
You may have heard the City's Casino complex is news once again. . . not in a good way.
