Do you want to get a change in your community? Well, make sure you cozy up to Jeff Clemens and live in his district. It seems that Kimberly Mitchell asked Jeff Clemens to sponsor a bill to change the boundaries of the Downtown Development Authority because she wanted One Watermark Place removed from the DDA boundary.

Residents are being charged $1 for every $1,000 of assessed value and those 1 per-centers feel they are not getting anything for their money. Mitchel set out to please and so did Clemens. Mitchell's reasons to change the boundary was that she thought the DDA redundant because of all the efforts of West Palm Beach as well as their CRA. Clemens reason for going along with Mitchell's request was "Kim Mitchell asked me to do it."

After an MLS search, you can certainly understand why residents have been squawking as One Watermark Place real estate ranges in price from $3,495,000 to $13,900,000.
