MASS TRANSIT CORRIDOR PLANNED ALONG CONGRESS IN DELRAY BEACH
About 4 years ago, the city rezoned the area to let developers build a “live, work, play” oasis with restaurants, condos and shops, near I-95 and Tri-Rail. Now, Palm Beach County officials have decided to rebuild and reconfigure some buildings on the 254-acre South Palm Beach County Administrative Complex, just south of Atlantic Avenue on Congress. Officials believe this plan will be a catalyst for the future of transit-oriented development in the area. 370 units are planned, some for workforce housing, and retail that works well with transit. 225 acres along Congress have been rezoned to increase density and allow developers to build condos and apartments next to restaurants, dry cleaners and hair salons. The city wants to attract jobs, corporations and industries, and create a neighborhood feel with linear parks, campus style development, and pedestrian walkways.
