Planning Forum relative to Northern Palm Beach and Southern Martin
Counties . The meetings were called initially by the City of Palm
Beach Gardens and have been attended by representatives of all the
applicable governments from the City of Riviera Beach to and

Steering Committee. It is the desire of the Steering Committee to
create a strategic growth and development plan that will provide a
vision and sub-regional framework for future development and
