City of Fort Lauderdale Fort Lauderdale officials released this proposed rendering on Wednesday.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Fort Lauderdale is moving forward with a new Holiday Park project that officials say will provide more parking and improve emergency response services.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis described Holiday Park as “a hub for activity and leisure” since it’s home to The Parker, FTL War Memorial Auditorium, Baptist Health IcePlex, and the Jimmy Evert Tennis Center.
The statement followed a public meeting on Tuesday when commissioners approved a developer, Holiday Park Parking Partners LLC, and a proposal that includes a rooftop vertiport, a hub for electric aircraft.
Trantalis said the approved project’s proposal “reflects our commitment to respect the environment and plan thoughtfully for the future.”
The current proposal also includes “an integrated” fire-rescue substation near Northeast Eighth Street and 10 Avenue, according to officials.
“We’re investing in both quality of life and public safety,” Commissioner Steven Glassman said in a statement.
The negotiations between the private developer and the city to determine costs, timelines, and other details are next.
The commission will have to review a final proposal and approve it, according to officials.
