Northwood Village in West Palm Beach: Realizing its potential

Nina Cusmano, a reporter at Florida Weekly, wrote this article about Northwood Village subtitled, "West Palm Beach’s Northwood Village finally may be set to fulfill its promise". Here is an excerpt from the article:

     For more than two decades, Northwood Village has been on the cusp of success.
     Now, officials with the city of West Palm Beach say success is within its reach.
     “If you drive down there you see all of the construction and buildings being beautified. There’s an energy about it,” said Jasmine Etienne, marketing and special events manager for the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency. “Everyone’s interested in Northwood. It was always built for success.”
     From 2005 to 2015, the agency devoted $18 million to the revitalization of the village. [emphasis added] Stores have opened and closed during that time.
     “If you looked at Northwood 10 years ago and you looked at it now, you’d see two totally different things,” said Susan Kores, project manager for the CRA. “About 10 years ago this agency focused on Northwood and recognized the value that was there.”
