Lake Worth Beach's shuttered Gulfstream hotel closer to renovation
Say NO to $10 million in giveaways
"Proposed financial giveaways by the city of Lake Worth Beach has some commissioners wondering if the Gulfstream hotel project will be worth it.Proposed financial giveaways to developer Restoration St. Louis and property owner CDS Holdings – estimated to be as high as $10 million or more – have made McVoy's support for the project conditional.
That's made him the target of critics and trolls who say the project is key to the city's future.
McVoy isn't alone. Commissioners Kim Stokes and Reinaldo Diaz also have expressed unease with parts of the deal that would restore the original hotel building and add an adjacent 165,000 square-foot structure with more hotel rooms, luxury rentals and a parking garage."
We have a tendency in Lake Worth to give developers what they want. And when it comes to the downtown, certain people will give way the farm especially if they are business owners.

What makes this old hotel so important? It should have been torn down years ago. It's not like Frank Lloyd Wright was the Architect!
The only thing really nice about it is the Veranda. Surely, they could save that without all of this Handwringing. How many years is this now? How many people have died, waiting for this hotel to be upgraded?
It was nice in its' day.
This time, I'm on the side of McVoy, Stokes and Diaz.
Who are these people who are so anxious to have this hotel rebuilt? What are they going to do, go there once, in their finery, and then leave if for the low lifes?
What is it? Downton Abbey?
