West Palm Beach mulls private CRA
This northern Broward County city and West Palm Beach have about the same population. Both have great weather, palm trees, and a mix of well-to-do, middle-class and blighted neighborhoods. And Kim Briesemeister. Briesemeister was, until last week executive director of West Palm Beach’s Community Redevelopment Agency since 2004. At her recommendation, the city commission voted Aug. 12 to solicit private firms to take over the CRA operations.
