Maybe you missed this from yesterday. . .

Looking for something interesting to read this weekend?

Then consider. . .

The ARTS CULTURAL
MASTER PLAN
for Downtown Lake Worth

This item was presented at Lake Worth’s Planning & Zoning Board last Wednesday. The presentation is 124 pp. long with a lot of graphics and data. To download the P&Z agenda click on this link and scroll down for the agenda package on September 5th. Once downloaded the Arts Cultural Master Plan begins on p. 52.


Here is just one of many images:

LWCHS  =  Lake Worth Community High School; DTLW  =  Downtown Lake Worth.

This plan will also be presented to the Historic Resources Preservation Board next week, on Wednesday, September 12th, 6:00, at City Hall.

However, in the meantime, some regrettable typos need to be corrected. . .

• In “Appendix A, Acknowledgments”, on p. 123, Palm Beach County School Board member Erica Whitfield’s name is misspelled. Whitfield’s first name in Erica, not ‘Erika’.
• On p. 124, “Workshop Participants”, Patti Chung Sheldon’s middle name is misspelled. ‘Cung’ is another typo.
• And “Steering Committee” member Shanon Materio’s name is also misspelled. On p. 125 the spelling is ‘Shannon’ which is incorrect.

The information gleaned from last year’s Street Painting Festival (shown on p. 169) is very interesting, for example:


The Master Plan should help address some of Lake Worth’s liabilities and image problems: a lack of parking, a high cost of utilities, crime rate, homelessness and vagrancy, and the general sentiment that Lake Worth has a bad reputation and sees an unfair share of bad press [emphasis added]
