Lauderdale Lakes

Lauderdale Lakes held a groundbreaking for the commencement of the 32-acre Bella Vista mixed-use project, located on Oakland Park Boulevard in the new “Town Center”.  This project was developed through a partnership between the Lauderdale Lakes Community Redevelopment Agency and developer United Homes International.  The project will be designed in the “New Urbanist” style of urban planning seen in other successful projects such as Mizner Park in Boca Raton and CityPlace in West Palm Beach.  It will incorporate elements of “Traditional Neighborhood Design.”

Lauderdale Lakes’ new $6.2m Library and Community educational and Cultural Center-half was CRA funded and the CRA is the developer/banker through completion.  The County library will reimburse half the cost to the CRA under an Interlocal Agreement.  Through a federal grant, monies were obtained for the furnishing of equipment needed for a computer training program, and the CRA Business Development Center is on the second floor.
