The Press Release: Lake Worth is among 43 communities in 27 states that will receive technical assistance to pursue sustainable growth that encourages local economic development while safeguarding health and the environment. EPA staff and national experts will conduct one to two-day workshops that focus on the Economic and Fiscal Health tool. The Community Redevelopment Agency in partnership with the City of Lake Worth requested assistance to help evaluate how to get better economic results from private development and public investments.

This tool provides an overview of how land use decisions impact the fiscal and economic health of a community, with an emphasis on self assessment of demographics, employment trends as well as a review local decisions and public polices that support neighborhood stabilization, increasing property revenues and minimizing costs. From this discussion, the EPA team will provide a series of next step strategies that the community can consider for addressing key fiscal issues raised during the  assistance.
