Mayor Keith A. James is happy to announce that Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBAU) representatives intend to revise their campus expansion that more harmoniously integrates with its surrounding community, consistent with Mayor James’ vision of smart growth.

The original campus expansion design included a 25-story dormitory and a monumental 11-story private parking garage — the tallest parking garage in West Palm Beach. PBAU has agreed to revise its plans to include a parking garage of a height not to exceed seven stories.

“Certain things are simply worth fighting for,” said Mayor Keith A. James. “My Administration has been acting with intentionality, investing in innovation and implementing mobility and transportation solutions. I’m appreciative of PBAU’s willingness to work with my vision of a city that creates attractive public spaces, and sustains neighborhoods with attractive streets designed for people, not just cars. PBAU is a valuable addition to West Palm Beach, attracting students and talent known for nationwide academic excellence and benevolence.”

The current West Palm Beach GreenMarket season has come to a close, and you may be wondering what the vendors do until the next opening day. Master Chef Showcase runner-up Chef Rasheed, co-owner of Olive Oil of the World, gives us a peek into his off-season world.
