News in this week's Lake Worth Herald*: County approves Domino Park for CDBG Funds

Should the neighborhood have reason for concern? Possibly Commissioner Ryan Maier should be consulted to see if there is any risk of gentrification to nearby areas? Anyhow, below are excerpts from this week's Lake Worth Herald:

     Palm Beach County has agreed to make a total of $34,813 in unspent Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds available to the City to make improvements to an unimproved parcel of land in the public right of way on South G Street between South 8th Avenue and South 9th Avenue.
     The location is currently being used by residents as an informal location to play checkers and dominoes on makeshift tables and chairs. These funds are comprised of CDBG funding balances remaining from the recently completed 10th Avenue South, 9th Avenue South and 5th Avenue North right-of-way improvements projects.

[and. . .]

     The project entails improvements to this parcel, commonly referred to as Domino Park, in order to better accommodate the needs of the residents through the provision of a more attractive venue that is better protected from the elements. Proposed improvements include clearing and grubbing of the site, installation of a concrete slab, purchase/construction of an open pavilion with amenities, equipment, landscaping and other site improvements consistent with park projects.
