Message from Commissioner Mulvehill

I am sharing the comment below with you regarding new construction and compatibility in Gdansk and Sopot Poland -- please keep in mind that these cities receive more than 2 Million tourists annually. They are small towns - less than 40K residents in Sopot. I met with one of their Vice Mayor's today to explore twinning our cities. I look forward to having a town hall meeting when I return with pics of the town and similarities between our town and how a town ATTRACTS 2 million tourists....

I was AMAZED today to see a new Hilton being built here in Gdansk, Poland = 4 stories. Shocking actually - it CONFORMS with the existing structures. Also, a brand new Sheraton Conference Hotel and Spa just opened a few months ago in Sopot - the city I am working to twin Lake Worth with. Again - it CONFORMS with their 1920 Casino - now called the Grand Hotel. I am more than ever CONVINCED that height restrictions make us MORE - not less attractive - to developers and tourists.
