Small or large, mom and pop or corporate giant – Lake Worth has a space for you.

The Department develops and overseas the implementation of programs that impact the City’s physical, historic, and sustainable character and quality of life.  Management of the programs requires a close partnership with the City Manager and other City Staff to keep the City Commission and citizens informed of the progress being made through private and public investments.
