CityPlace

As defined by special act of the Florida legislature, the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority (DDA) is an independent special taxing district created in 1967 with a mission to:

Analyze the economic conditions and changes occurring in the downtown area, including the effect of such factors as metropolitan growth, traffic congestion, parking, and structural obsolescence and deterioration.

Formulate long-range plans for improving the appeal, use and public accessibility of downtown facilities, remedying any deterioration of property values and developing the downtown area.

Recommend to the city, business owners and residents the best actions for implementing downtown development plans.

Clematis Street / Downtown

Today, the DDA leads a coordinated strategy of economic development, urban design, and public services to strengthen Downtown as:

The heart of West Palm Beach and the economic and cultural hub of the region.

A prosperous place for businesses and institutions.

An attractive urban environment for visitors and residents.

A vibrant place to live, work, and play.

Over the past 4 years, the downtown West Palm Beach area evolved as a result of three key factors: the opening of CityPlace, the development of nearby downtowns and City centers; and numerous road construction projects. These factors along with an increase in residential development in the area, create the distinct need to reposition and redefine Downtown West Palm Beach with a new strategic plan and targeted programs.
