Historic preservation and historic dis-tricts in the City of Lake Worth: Meeting today at Parrot Cove, 7:00.

Do you remember what happened at a Parrot Cove meeting last year? The meeting was about historic preservation, historic districts, and many in the public were, well, let’s just say “mad as hell”. So what’s happened or not happened since June 2016?

Want to learn more about this very important issue? Have questions and concerns?

Today (Monday, Nov. 20th) at 7:00 is another meeting in the Parrot Cove neighborhood about the City’s Historic Preservation program. Learn more about this meeting below, the guest speaker is Mark Stivers, Assistant Dir. for Planning, Zoning, and Historic Preservation:

“Mark will be speaking to us about his new role with the City and how it will affect our neighborhood. He will be soliciting feedback from our members to hear about the strengths and weaknesses of the current historic preservation program and the vision for our neighborhood and the City of Lake Worth.”

Come out tomorrow and learn about all the changes that will be happening in the very near future.

Remember, it was following a series of neighborhood meetings in June 2016, like the one held at Parrot Cove, when City Hall got the message loud and clear: the historic preservation program is overbearing, too complicated, and arbitrarily enforced. Fix it!

This Parrot Cove meeting today is open to the public, from all neighborhoods in our City of Lake Worth, and all NAPC members* are strongly encouraged to attend.

The message from Anthony Marotta, the president of the Parrot Cove Neighborhood Association:
