Mayor Triolo, Vice Mayor Maxwell and Commissioners,

My family and I are residents of Lake Osborne and have recently been reading about all the negativity towards the proposal of the Braves spring training facility. I understand that many of the detractors will be in attendance at the next local meeting and probably few of the supporters will actually be there.

Please feel free to use this email as a glowing endorsement from the young families of Lake Worth. 

Lake Worth is missing something of this style and fashion and it would benefit us immeasurably in terms of entertainment, land value, and general enhancement. As a family that has been to Abacoa literally hundreds of times over the years, a place like this in Lake Worth could be a true catalyst for positive change in our town. I know it will be a long decision process, but lets bring the Braves to Lake Worth (from a long time Cubs fan!).

Have a beautiful day,

Andrew Graham Elder

[Note: The proposed Braves facility would not be located within the municipal limits of the City of Lake Worth but in the County's John Prince Park nearby. Nevertheless, the positive impacts on Lake Worth would be tremendous, as the email above points out.]
