Osceola Park in Delray Beach looking for redevelopment February 8, 2021 at 9:50 PM EST - Updated February 8 at 9:50 PM
In the 25 years Gail-Lee McDermott has lived in Delray Beach s Osceola Park neighborhood she said her working-class community has consistently been overlooked. You ll get what you want. Everything will be beautiful, that fell apart, she said.
The Osceola Park community extends South of SW 2nd street and west of Federal Highway.
On Monday night McDermott joined James Quillian, president of the Osceola Park Association along with some of her neighbors who feel city commissioners are not doing enough to address their needs. For years it s been blighted by the city. How? By removing all the tax dollars that would normally go to keep an area like it s supposed to be, upkeep. So, if you remove all of that you re blighting it on purpose, Quillian said.
