Palm Beach County Approves Spring Training Site Plan, Land Swap

Palm Beach County commissioners this morning “approved a land swap and conceptual plan with West Palm Beach for a new spring training home” for the Nationals and Astros. But the deal “isn’t done yet,” as today’s approval “sets in motion more negotiations for the project.” The “next key hurdle is in the state Legislature, which must change a state law to shrink an easement on the south end of the site.” A final vote on the swap “would come after appraisals are done on both sides” (PALMBEACHPOST.com, 2/3).
