CITYVIEW June/July 2013 Issue Online
Our Feature Series on Economic & Infrastructure Development by Jana Danger continues with a look at the elements needed to develop healthy cities and the developments going on or in the planning stages around downtown Fort Lauderdale. We also take a look at the State of the Local Economy with DDA Chair Tim Petrillo and review the new, downtown Las Olas Sunday Market.
