City looking to privatize CRA; current director Briesemeister wants bid | West Palm Beat blog | The Palm Beach Post

More tinkering with West Palm Beach's CRA and economic development functions.  Click title for link. And it seems like an odd situation where the current director of the CRA would be allowed to have a company of hers involved in the operation of CRAs in other communities.  Coincidentally, I will have Raphael Clemente, who is the Executive Director of the West Palm Downtown Development Authority, as a guest on "High Noon in Lake Worth" this coming Friday (6/14).  We will see if he can help sort out what is going on this front.  By the way, Mr. Clemente was born and raised in Lake Worth and is also an avid bicyclist, so I am sure we will have a lot to talk about.
