City appoints additional representatives to the County Business Development Board



Additional appointments to the board are (shown above L to R) Vice Mayor Rodriguez, Commissioner Ross, and City Manager Bressner - they join Mayor Taylor, CRA Executive Director Bright and Assistant Director Brooks.

Founded in 1982 by chambers of commerce, the Economic Council and other business leaders, the Business Development Board is a private, not-for-profit corporation designated by the state as Palm Beach County's official economic development organization. Although it operates as an autonomous organization, it works closely with the chambers of commerce, other county organizations and the County Commission to achieve economic development goals in the areas of business recruitment and expansion, job creation, workforce development, infrastructure, and availability of capital.
