Public Art Scavenger Hunt Unfolds Across City Parks

Palm Beach Gardens, FL · October 20, 2026

A quiet blanket of grey settles over the pines early this morning. If your morning commute crosses the western corridor, leave a few minutes early to dodge the Beeline lane shifts.

The Lead

County commissioners take up an unsolicited $30 million proposal today that could reshape flight traffic along the western corridor. Palm Beach developer Jeff Greene's Jet Greene LLC wants to acquire 131 acres of vacant county land adjacent to North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport on Beeline Highway. Under the plan, private investment would build a dedicated fixed-base operator for private aircraft, while the county would direct the purchase proceeds toward constructing an air traffic control tower and extending the primary runway from 4,300 to 6,000 feet. The airport currently operates without an active tower amidst surrounding wetlands and increasing corporate air traffic. Today’s vote does not finalize any land transfer, but directs county staff to begin detailed environmental reviews, flight noise assessments, and formal contract negotiations before commissioners revisit the proposal next year.
