Councilman Tom Valente, Councilwoman Harriet Nolan,
Village Manager Raymond Howland, Vice -Mayor W.H.
'Bill' Brown, Mayor Al Moore, Frank Sunderland
representing George Delacorte, and Yeckes-Luckner,
architects for the building, officially break ground and
pave the way for the construction of the community center.
Plans include a gymnaslum/auditorium, a stage, two
galleries, dressing rooms, and office space in the interior
of the building, which is located on a 10 acre site on
Prosperity Farms Rd. There is plenty of room for
expansion of the recreational facilities to meet the future
needs of residents of North Palm Beach for years to come.
A donation by George Delacorte, publisher of Dell
paperbacks, made it possible to build the center, which
will give people of all ages a place to experience plays,
recitals, and all sorts of cultural and recreational activities.
