From OnGardens to Stet News

Aug 1, 2024 | ongardens.org | Joel Engelhardt

Dear loyal OnGardens reader,Thank you so much for subscribing to OnGardens.org for the past few years. I know you haven’t seen much on the site lately. That’s because I’ve been putting all my energy into a new local news website, StetNews.org. Stet is reporting about Palm Beach County with a focus on north county. While the stories won’t be strictly aimed at Palm Beach Gardens readers, we won’t forget you and your issues.
Inflatable canopy may be out at Tiger Woods-backed golf arena

Jul 26, 2024 | ongardens.org | Joel Engelhardt

The backers of a new indoor golf arena rising in Palm Beach Gardens are rethinking their commitment to an inflatable dome after a storm last week ripped the parachute-like canopy to shreds. Meetings in the next few weeks with architects and engineers will determine if the Tiger Woods-backed TMRW Sports Group changes course and rebuilds with steel or concrete walls instead of an inflatable canopy.
Tiger Woods’ golf canopy shredded after power loss, high winds

Jul 26, 2024 | ongardens.org | Joel Engelhardt

A shambles. The dream of a Tiger Woods-led golf league playing by January in front of ESPN cameras under a massive air-filled dome in Palm Beach Gardens got tossed to the wind this week by the twin hits of a temporary power outage and a wicked, windy Wednesday. The rush to complete construction of the 1,500-seat arena in time for the new indoor TMRW Golf League, or TGL, to tee off on Jan. 9 now looks impossible to meet.
How one community holds the key to annexation’s ‘Holy Grail’

Jul 26, 2024 | ongardens.org | Joel Engelhardt

Palm Beach Gardens’ massive annexation of 1,350 acres east of Interstate 95 has spawned a fierce competition with neighboring North Palm Beach over a single, critical spit of land called Hidden Key. Hidden Key holds another key, the key to the greatest annexation prize of them all, the gated, uber-private, golf course community, Lost Tree Village. Possessing the 70-home waterfront community of Hidden Key brings Lost Tree Village into reach.

Jul 26, 2024 | ongardens.org | Joel Engelhardt

Florida Atlantic University doesn’t want you to know how it spent $35 million of taxpayers money on a building that doesn’t work. After the university opened the Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute in Jupiter with great fanfare in January it shut it down with no fanfare on July 30. Little is known about the reasons behind the shutdown, the cost to reopen the building, the loss of experiments caused by the shutdown and who is going to pay for it all.

Jul 26, 2024 | ongardens.org | Joel Engelhardt

This story originally ran Tuesday in StetNews.org. The fight between cities and counties over who gets the money developers pay for road work could be decided this year by the Florida Legislature. Cities back a bill that would give them control of the money that otherwise goes to counties. Counties object. At stake in Palm Beach County: $20 million a year in developer fees that go to roads.

Slow going for legal challenge to Gardens annexation

Jul 26, 2024 | ongardens.org | Joel Engelhardt

This story originally appeared Tuesday at StetNews.org. It’s beginning to look like a lawsuit filed Jan. 5 will not stop the March 19 Palm Beach Gardens annexation election. Quick catchup: Residents of Hidden Key sued to block the election involving the largest of five zones, Zone 1. The court did not issue its first order until Feb. 7, after Hidden Key filed a motion to speed things up. Zone 1 has more than 7,000 residents.

They object to being part of an annexation of 1,300 acres east of Interstate 95 containing an estimated 8,300 residents. The City Council told the opponents their messages were heard before voting against them, taking the final steps to place annexation on the March 19 ballot.
‘It can't be just a Costco box:’ New Tiger Woods arena draws criticism

Jul 26, 2024 | ongardens.org | Joel Engelhardt

This story is appearing simultaneously in StetNews.org and OnGardens.org. A proposal to rebuild the Tiger Woods-led indoor golf arena at Palm Beach State College with prefabricated metal instead of an air-inflated dome met sharp resistance Tuesday from the college Board of Trustees. Trustees leasing 10 acres off of PGA Boulevard to the star-infused TMRW Golf League refused to immediately endorse the proposal for a metal building in place of the dome destroyed in November in high winds.
