I put the
Hammon Park dilemma up in the marquee last night.
I am sure that all of you read about it this morning—it looks like it is doubtful that the New Urban/RFC Lake Worth will get the Grant from the State that it desperately needs to build affordable housing on Dixie and keep its project alive because of massive budget cuts.
The economy had been headed south even when the CRA made this decision.
Now that the CRA along with other agencies have pledged an estimated $600,000 towards this failed project thanks to heavy lobbying from developers and backers of Hammon Park, the CRA can now use this money in better ways, say, saving our Museum for a starter. What about just cleaning up the blight, one of its main objectives, or so I thought.
We have so much affordable housing in the City of Lake Worth that it isn’t funny.
