In unincorporated PBC: “[A] very controversial project just outside the city limits of the City of Atlantis.”

The information below is from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC):

“Commissioner Valeche [PBC District 1 Commissioner Hal Valache] noted that Palm Beach County has a very extensive comprehensive plan hearing scheduled that includes a very controversial project just outside the city limits of the City of Atlantis. [emphasis added] He stated Atlantis will be using the findings from one of Council’s charrettes as part of the discussion for the agenda item.”

—Excerpt from the Draft Minutes of TCRPC meeting held on July 20th, 2018.


Stay tuned for an update and possibly new news about this “very controversial project” from business reporter Brian Bandell at the South Florida Business Journal, reporter Keith Larson at The Real Deal, or maybe even a business reporter at The Palm Beach Post will report on what is happening just outside the City of Atlantis.

So you’re wondering, “Where is the City of Atlantis?” A map is further down.
