Leaders with four Broward County cities discussed their efforts to spur development in downtown urban districts July 24 at the Breaking Ground with Brian Bandell real
estate panel.
With few vacant sites remaining for development in Broward, the future of growth lies mostly in infill development. Residents are moving into both traditional downtown
on the east side of the county, and emerging urban, mixed-use districts out west.
The panel, sponsored by the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce and Cambria USA, was held at the NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale. The audience
heard Jorge Camejo, executive director of the Hollywood Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA); Danielle Cohen Lima, CRA administrator for Coral Springs; Jenni Morejon, president and CEO of the Fort Lauderdale Downtown Development Authority; and Michael Ryan, mayor of Sunrise, discuss the push for urban development in their respective cities.
