Wellington Village Council members agreed at a workshop Thursday to draw up a conceptual plan for a Palm Beach Community College campus at the village’s K-Park site on State Road 7.
The plan will be drawn up through meetings between village staff and PBCC officials, returning to the council next month.
Some council members bemoaned missing the opportunity of attracting a four-year college, while others raised concerns about moving away from K-Park’s intended purpose of providing athletic fields to meet the recreation service levels required in the village’s comprehensive plan. [more] |

Royal Palm Beach officials are looking forward to an arrangement with Palm Beach County that will allow the village to provide an alternate water source to irrigate the golf course planned for Royal Palm Beach Commons Park.
Last week, Village Manager David Farber told the Royal Palm Beach Village Council he had begun negotiations with the county water utility department to allow the village to tap into a reuse water line that will supply the Florida Power & Light power plant under construction at 20-Mile Bend.

Groves Council OKs Churches, Retail Center
Carol Porter 09.MAY.08
The Loxahatchee Groves Town Council approved a development order amendment and two site plans for development projects Tuesday, all proposals exempted from the town’s one-year development application moratorium enacted late last year.
The projects, two church buildings and a retail center, are exempt from the moratorium because they had already begun the Palm Beach County review process before the town incorporated. As such, they must adhere to county standards, although the town council must also certify the town’s approval of the projects. [more]ITID Strives To Keep Assessment Rates Low

Ron Bukley 09.MAY.08
With officials in The Acreage and Loxahatchee Groves worried about their ability to fight fires and keep residential and nursery well fields fueled, there is a move on to work together on a comprehensive water plan that will keep enough water in canals to meet local needs.
A major concern is safety. Firefighters depend on water from canals to put out fires in most parts of The Acreage and Loxahatchee Groves because of a scarcity of hydrants. [more]
