Palm Beach is letting West Palm Beach know they are concerned

This story caught my eye this morning from Alese Kopf from the Palm Beach Daily News, aka The Shiny Sheet. From the article:

     The town may not be able—or want to—to oppose recent and future development activities in West Palm Beach, but officials have been directed to explore options. [emphasis in red]
     “Clearly it’s a concern, what’s going on on the other side of the bridge,” said Town Council President Michael Pucillo. “The question is, what can we do about it and how can we be helpful. I’d like to have further discussion about what we can and cannot do as a town.”
     Planning, Zoning and Building Director John Page was asked to fill in members of the council Wednesday on “the “magnitude” of ongoing development projects along the waterfront. He said he met with Rick Greene, his counterpart for the city, who identified 24 projects underway in the area.
     “Collectively, I see that those 24 downtown projects represent well over 2,000 dwelling units and over 900 hotel rooms,” Page said.

Very interesting article and I encourage everyone to read the entire article by Alese Kopf and draw your own conclusions. On an entirely different topic, the West Palm Beach municipal elections are only 23 days away, on March 10.
