PLORiDA 3340a PHONE: 107•844•3408 June 20, 1994 Mr. Tom Bradford Villaqe Manager � Villaqe of Tequesta 357 Tequesta Drive Tequesta, Florida 33469 RE Villaqe ot Tequesta support for Riviera Beach convention ceater site. Dear Mr. Bradford: As per our conversation, on behalf of the Riviera Beach CRA Board of Commissioners, I would like to request the support of the Village of Tequesta Council for our convention center site. I look forward to presenting to the Village Council at the July 14th meeting. As you are aware, the County is looking into building a convention center facility somewhere within an appro:timately 20 minute radius of the international airport. We have i�lentified a 25 acre waterfront si.te in Riviera Beach which we feel presents the best opportunity for a successful and nationally competitive center. The amenities that surround our site are numerous, ranging from the quality views provided, the adjacent proposed new cruise ship terminal at the Port of Palm Beach, the soon to be improved Peanut Island Park, Singer Island Beaches, on to the over 1200 hotel rooms on Singer Island. The enclosed graphics show many of these amenities and the general location of the proposed site. We also feel that this facility would•be an asset for the northern half of the County if it were located on this site. For example, merchants, hoteliers and restaurateurs particularly in the North County area will benefit and it would bring a rare County �acility into the north area. It would also serve to improve our C one that has needed a redevelopment lift for many years, makijnq for a � more attractive north county area. - '' We wou2d ask the Village Council to review this matter at the Village Council meeting and provide us with a resolution in support of our location being chosen by the Board of County Commissioners. I will be visiting all north county cities and towns in the coming months and I have enclosed some examples of resolutions we have Mr. Tom Bradford June 20, 1994 Page Two (2) � already received (from the Port of Palm Beach, the City of Palm Beach Gardens, the Town of Palm Beach Shores, the Villaqe of North Palm Beach, the Loxahatchee Council of Governments and the Northern Palm Beaches Chamber of Commercej. I will be happy to answer any questions you or the Village Council may have at the meeting. I look forward to the Village Council's support of this worthwhile effort...
