PLEASE NOTE: The project for a total of 3,897 homes has already been approved by Palm Beach County, there is nothing we can do about this. However, by supporting the proposed plan, it will eliminate 1,285 if we show County we support this. For more details, go to https://boldsolutionspbc3.com/

Hi Bob,
Would be happy to help out. Sidenote-I read ‘their piece’ on what they were looking at doing. It’s NIMBY and it looks like less pressure on our area so generally a plus. But I absolutely don’t trust/like GL. What is it you’re seeing that is being hidden?
Kent
I would assume they would rather build elsewhere if possible , so the more land they can offer the county to preserve agricultural land, the better for them but especially for us! Our land here is actively being farmed. The county would get the leases. We definitely need water storage and cleansing of the water that is discharged.
There could be any number of things coming down the pike. They could build, they could possibly incorporate if they build it all, once at 75 percent. They could change their development plan to higher density or workforce- the list goes on I suppose.
In the here and now, this change benefits us in several ways. In addition to less traffic throughout our community, Down south is more appropriate and conforming for developments and has the infrastructure in place. The water project assists us here and provides a regonal benefit as well. Therefore I can stand behind it.
If you cannot make the meeting, gl has a support form fill letter that sends automatically to all the commissioners.
We expect there will be a lot of people from down south [in opposition] who have the time to attend the meeting, so letters will definitely help us.
Here is the link and thank you!

I have to say that I am very shocked at today’s Board of County Commissioner’s meeting final vote to say the least! The land swap was voted 5-2 in favor of moving the 1200+ homes down south to the Delray/Boca area. There were some changes or additions needed in order to get the deal done, and will be presented back to the BCC in August. Great job for those that helped support this project! Keep your eyes open for upcoming events or additional info on this mater in the very near future. We need this win something fierce.
With billion dollar sales GL monies behind it-it had been decided before they even met. GL wouldn’t have held the hearing if they hadn’t already greased the right palms. That said-I’ll take any win we can get for holding these guys back a little longer.
