Story summary
  • Palm Beach County Administrator Joe Abruzzo approved a $300,000 federal grant to repair the Lake Worth Beach building’s roof, HVAC system and elevator.
  • The earlier denial was based on Florida Senate Bill 1134, an anti-DEI law that does not take effect until 2027.
  • Compass Community Center called the reversal a “gut punch.”
  • Lake Worth Beach commissioners, appalled by the denial, voted unanimously to explore city funding before the law becomes active.
