Interesting. This might be the first time I've seen local government vote AGAINST redevelopment of an existing racetrack...... and the vote was UNANIMOUS.Palm Beach International Raceway replacement plan hit with setback ahead of key vote

I'm sure all this really means is..... The developer hasn't greased the palms of the County Commissioners yet. You watch, after the "back room meetings" take place, the county commissioners will be ALL FOR redevelopment. I hope I'm wrong.

there's a few good comments under the article......why isn't the facility ripe for car-condo development by south FL wealthy exotic car owners/car clubs?
is the price for the land bid up so high that the present owners have no choice but to sell? too high for NHRA to even take a look at it?

The sale of the track is a done deal, closing from what I understand is May 2nd. As I said in a previous post ISC want's out of the industry evidenced by them un-loading all of their tracks with PBIR being the last to go. Once the deal is done it's up to Portman to make the decision on what to do with the property but I'm positive that the re-zoning will pass. FYI Amazon has a monster distribution center just two miles down the road and that isn't causing any traffic problems. Money talks...
