Summary of Results
The Florida Public Officials Design Institute convened on November 6th & 7th, 2003. In addition to the Public Officials listed above, eight design experts volunteered their collective talents in the 10-hour problem-solving session that provided recommendations for the complex issues brought to the Design Institute by the public officials. These included West Palm Beach's development of an intermodal transit facility and a 30 acre adjacent site with potential for transit oriented development and workforce housing; Port St. Lucie's 42 square miles of development and annexation issues; and, Wilton Manors' desire for a long-term vision in the creation of a master plan and relocation of their city hall.
