11 questions for the Lake Worth Casino building proposal(s)...

Does this proposal keep all areas of the project open to the public?

Does this proposal provide for a public pool that would be open with similar hours as any public county or city pool?

Does this proposal show how it can provide the city with an additional million dollars a year to pay back the $6M the taxpayers loaned the Casino project and add revenue to our city budget?

Will this proposal provide more than a 100 extra spaces for cars needed at the beach?

Will this proposal provide a covered, accessible drop off area for everyone?

Will this proposal bring in more business for the existing businesses at the Beach?

Will this proposal provide a shuttle from the beach to the downtown area?

Will this proposal bring in more business to the downtown?

Can this proposal add the needed meeting and event space since we are booked for the next two years, but only on the weekends?

Why are there no other proposals like this?

Let's say a "Cafe L'Europe"-type of eating establishment wanted to pay $50 a square foot for the second floor restaurant space and could move in tomorrow. Given the lack of storage and "back of house" space for staff, where would the chairs, tables and other fixtures necessary for a ballroom/catering operation be kept?

The beach is booked for the next 2 years, but only on the weekends, because it is very inexpensive and the design has major problems during inclement weather and a poor layout. We have to do something to “FIX” this unsustainable building and at the same time have a pool that everyone can have access to much more than it currently is.

And one last question: Is there a proposed plan to combine operations with the Casino property to provide better access for everyone, encourage people there on the off-season AND during the weekdays to better utilize the building and help out businesses there succeed all year round?
