Palm Beach County to open North County Airport land to new bids

The Palm Beach County Commission has decided not to enter into exclusive negotiations with Palm Beach billionaire Jeff Greene for the sale and use of land at the North County General Aviation Airport , instead choosing to open the project to other prospective bidders. The developer wants the property to upgrade facilities at North County Airport, including the addition of hangars and a terminal housing an executive lounge and private meeting rooms. He told the Palm Beach Daily News that he was inspired to pitch the proposal when he couldn't find room to store his Gulfstream jet at President Donald J. Trump International Airport — and then learned that North County Airport's runway is too short to accommodate his plane. "I've had a plane for 25 years," he said. "I understand the world of private aviation very, very well." During a meeting on Oct. 20, county commissioners said they were open to consider a proposal from Greene to buy 131 acres of undeveloped wetlands just north of the airport and to lease land on the airport's property. But they said they could not approve formal negotiations until others had been given an opportunity to submit bids. North County Airport, built

Road closures and partial closures are scheduled in Palm Beach

Snowbirds arriving in Palm Beach for the social season are encountering plenty of roadwork of the sort that kept drivers on their guard during the summer months. With multiple projects under way in town, returning residents can expect daily traffic slowdowns as they make their way around the island. The work ranges from the town's efforts to bury all its cellular, internet and powerlines , to the Florida Department of Transportation's work along State Road A1A . Those two projects come on top of the weekend closures of South Ocean Boulevard between Southern Boulevard and South County Road when President Donald Trump returns to his Mar-a-Lago Clubo , as he has done for the past few weeks. According to recent FAA notices, Trump is expected to return as early as Friday, Nov. 13. To keep residents informed, Town Hall staff regularly updates Palm Beach's website, TownofPalmBeach.com , with the latest information on what closures drivers can expect each week. Here's the latest rundown on what to expect on the roads. Bahama Lane between North Lake Way and North Ocean Boulevard is closed this week to all but local traffic.

School Bus Stop-Arm Cameras Launch Across Palm Beach County, $225 Fines Coming

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The School District of Palm Beach County and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with BusPatrol, have launched the Palm Beach County School Bus Passing Safety Program to curb reckless driving around stopped school buses and safeguard students traveling to and from school. About 750 buses in the district’s fleet now carry stop-arm cameras, allowed under a 2023 Florida law authorizing school bus infraction detection systems. The cameras switch on automatically whenever a bus flashes its red stop signals, recording video and photos of any vehicle that doesn’t stop. A Sheriff’s Office deputy reviews every flagged event. If the deputy confirms a violation, a Notice of Violation goes in the mail to the vehicle’s registered owner. Drivers get a grace period first. Starting Nov. 16, 2026, motorists caught illegally passing a stopped bus will receive an educational warning by mail, with no fine. Full enforcement begins Jan. 5, 2027, when confirmed violations carry a $225 civil penalty. Because it’s a civil penalty, no points go on the driver’s license. The numbers behind the program are stark. The National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services estimates

Lone Pine Estates cleans up after flooding swamped neighborhood

While the flooding from days of epic rain has receded, the Lone Pine Estates neighborhood in Riviera Beach does not look the same as it did before the storms. The neighborhood flooded from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2 when more than 20 inches of rain fell in the city. Its residents are cleaning up the mess left behind after waist-deep water trapped them in their homes and sent cars floating in the community along Military Trail. A recent visit saw homes with water-logged furniture lined up for trash collection outside them. Some had piles of construction refuse, as if crews had done demolition inside. Claw trucks rolled down the streets, dropping the mounds into their bins. The flooding also led to a rupture in a force main, a pipe that carries wastewater. That backed-up wastewater systems citywide and led officials to ask residents not to flush their toilets or do laundry for about a day. Riviera Beach floods: Catastrophic flooding in Riviera traps residents, sends cars floating The floods partially sank a school bus in Lone Pine on Nov. 3, and some of its residents navigated the area in canoes. Riviera Beach police Maj. Glen Meyer said crews evacuated 100
