Kushner's Proposed 1M SF Industrial Project Could Impact Florida Agricultural Reserve
Palm Beach County, Florida, commissioners in 1980 set aside 21,000 acres in the western part of the county as an agricultural preserve for farmland, wetlands, water resources and open space.
Now, New York-based Kushner Cos. intends to build a massive, 1M SF industrial warehouse on 51 acres that had long been the site of a plant nursery. To proceed, Kushner would need the zoning to be changed from agricultural to industrial, but it is facing some opposition from local residents, The Palm Beach Post reported.
