MEMORANDUM:
TO: Village Council
FROM Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager ��
DATE: July 7, 1994
SUBJECT: Presentation on Proposed Riviera Seach Coavention Center
Site; Ageada Item
Vice-Mayor Burckart and Councilmember Collings have both requested
that a presentation regarding the proposed Riviera Beach Convention
Center site be made to the Village Council. In this regard, I have
contacted Neil Crilly, the Riviera Beach CRA Executive Director,
requesting such a presentation at the July 14, 1994, Village
Council Meeting.
If the Village Council looks favorably upon the proposed Riviera
Beach Convention Center site, I have taken the liberty of preparing
a Resolution of the Village Council approving the same, also for
your consideration at the July 14, 1994, Village Council Meeting.
Based upon my understanding of the subject matter, I would
recommend that the Village Council approve the proposed Convention
Center site in Riviera Beach because:
1) It would provide badly needed redevelopment and economic
activity in Riviera Beach. .
2) It would be good for the Northern Palm Beach County area.
3) It is the only Convention Center site providing waterfront
amenities.
A convention center site in Palm Beach County without waterfront
access is synonymous with having a convention center in San
Francisco, but actually constructing it in a suburban area, such as
Walnut Creek, or a New York City convention center in the
Meadowlands of New Jersey or the Miami Beach Convention Center
constructed in some hinterland area such as Kendall.
It is recommended that the Village Council support the Riviera
Beach Convention Center site by adopting Resolution No. 18-93/94
supporting the same.
