Interesting. This might be the first time I've seen local government vote AGAINST redevelopment of an existing racetrack...... and the vote was UNANIMOUS.Palm Beach International Raceway replacement plan hit with setback ahead of key vote
The Palm Beach County Zoning Commission declined to approve the plan to redevelop the Palm Beach International Raceway on Thursday.www.wpbf.com
Well, that too I suppose..... I was thinking more about local politicians who take cash and personal gifts in return for favors. Happens all the time.i agree brian. county probably wants turn lanes, widened hwy, stop lights, etc. for influx of commercial traffic, and the developers are gonna' pay for it/them.
IRGSE owns PBIRThe sale of the track is a done deal, closing from what I understand is May 2nd. As I said in a previous post ISC want's out of the industry evidenced by them un-loading all of their tracks with PBIR being the last to go. Once the deal is done it's up to Portman to make the decision on what to do with the property but I'm positive that the re-zoning will pass. FYI Amazon has a monster distribution center just two miles down the road and that isn't causing any traffic problems. Money talks...
My bad, I got confused...IRGSE owns PBIR
