CITIES BENEFIT FROM USING
THE ARTS AS AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOL
Fort Lauderdale, Florida has transformed from a sleepy beach town into the hub of a hugely-populous county -- where lots of high-priced, high-rise housing has crowded into the city's modern downtown along the historic New River.
In a public/nonprofit partnership with the Broward County Cultural Division and the City of Fort Lauderdale, Artspace created 37 units of affordable live-work studios for individuals and their families in Fort Lauderdale's historic Sailboat Bend neighborhood.
The Sailboat Bend Lofts project was the result of a decade of work in the community.
In addition to the new construction lofts, the project also renovated the Historic West Side School, built in 1923, as the new home for the Broward County Historical Commission.
This new facility is located within walking distance of downtown Fort Lauderdale and its many cultural facilities.
