From Joe Capozzi and Eliot Kleinberg we have this latest news for Spring Training baseball in West Palm Beach, a possible land swap. If these negotiations don't succeed there is always John Prince Park, remember. From the article in the Palm Beach Post:
Spring training baseball took a big step Monday toward returning to West Palm Beach.
A private developer has withdrawn plans for a mixed-use project on the same 160-acre site where the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros want to build a $135 million baseball complex.
Parkside Commons’ decision to abandon its proposal prompted West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio to open negotiations with Palm Beach County on a land swap that represents the missing link in the baseball project.
“We have an unexpected window of opportunity,” Muoio said Monday at a press conference outside City Hall.
