As a result, the West Palm Beach city grant will pay for 50% of the costs to install a new neighborhood entry monument sign at the East end of Palm Street (at Dixie), which is the historic entrance into Grandview Heights. In addition, the association decided to use the remainder of the money to install irrigation and landscaping in the swales around the Emmanuel Deliverance Church at the corner of Newark and Georgia Ave. • All of the alleys in Grandview Heights will be newly paved over the next 4 - 8 weeks. The dates will be communicated to you as soon as they are known.

However, most neighborhoods in West Palm Beach south of Okeechobee will be impacted by more noise and pollution, negatively affecting quality of life and property values. A citizens initiative is forming to fight this expansion and find other solutions to the growing demand for air traffic. Information about the proposed expansion can be found at www.pbia-eis.com. All residents are urged to provide feedback regarding this proposal directly to the following e-mail address: pbia-eis@urscorp.com.
