Big changes under the I-95 overpass as it relates to the Flea Market that has operated there since 1987. It will still go on, only on school property. City Manager Bornstein weighs in on the situation.
Lake Worth City Manager Mike Bornstein said the city also likely will start requiring the flea market operators and the individual vendors to start paying some sort of licensing fee to the city. Bornstein said not having the vendors at the flea market pay to do business is not fair to all of the other businesses in downtown Lake Worth that have to get business licenses and pay fees to the city.
“Everybody has to play by the same rules,” Bornstein said. Staff is still determining the exact licensing fee. School District Real Estate Manager Barry Present said the flea market change would likely occur in July.
