Boardwalk is in third round of review from County staff.
Dan Rodriguez noted Luciano Pavarotti Foundation representatives have a plan
that they propose to bring to the CRA meeting in February incorporating arts,
music, and educational features as well as some retail commercial units. All facets
would occupy the visitors inside the 17-acre Boardwalk within the natural
surroundings. What they are looking for is an international destination where they
can have a museum or educational things for the underserved students.

not meet County standards. The MSTU will split the costs with CRA. The streets
