The local news, short
The CRA wants a developer for 7.5 acres on West Atlantic
Vacant CRA land on the SW 600–800 blocks, between I-95 and Swinton, for a mixed-use project with housing at a range of incomes. Proposals are due Dec. 2.
Monday's CRA agenda: selling 910 W. Atlantic
The Oct. 27 agenda included letting Prime Delray Hotel buy the site, a second hearing on an unsolicited West Atlantic proposal, and three SW 4th St lots going to the Community Land Trust for workforce homes.
352 apartments planned at Congress Park
The Easton at Atlantic (an eight-story apartment building, six townhouses and a garage) went before the planning board Oct. 19. Its recommendation isn't in the official record yet.
West Atlantic parking break could run to 2031
A proposed ordinance would let existing West Atlantic businesses keep adding uses and outdoor space without new parking for five more years. The City Commission has the final say.
That's the week. Forward this to the friend who's always on Atlantic Ave anyway. And reply with the best costume you see this weekend: our favorite gets a shoutout next Thursday.
