Item on P&Z Board agenda next month, “to allow for outdoor storage of boats, recreational vehicles, and trailers, etc.” in the POC.

First, do you know where the Park of
Commerce (POC) is?

Use this link to learn more about that area in the City located west of I-95. Past administrations have tried and failed for 25–30 years to make the POC a contributor to the City’s commercial tax base. Hard to believe now, but some former electeds “back in the day” were so desperate to have something happen in the POC, anything at all, even a chicken farm was suggested. Luckily, that idea didn’t go very far.

For the map of the POC, “Fast Facts”, progress updates, and more information, use this link to the City’s official website.

Anyhow. . .

The City of Lake Worth’s Planning & Zoning (P&Z) Board meets the first Wednesday of the month; the next meeting is September 6th at 6:00 in City Hall:
