BEST PRACTICE CITIES' CATHY SWANSON-RIVENBARK LED COMPLEX PROCESS THAT CREATED WINNING PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP
Debra Case
-- owner of Ocean Alley restaurant and bar -- has served as president of the
Hollywood Beach Association, a small business organization, and as a Hollywood
City Commissioner. She said the beach had a lot of slum and blight before the
Margaritaville project.
“Margaritaville opened and all of a sudden, people were here. Mom and pop shops have cleaned up, put in landscaping and tapped into CRA grants to upgrade,” said Case.
“Cathy Swanson-Rivenbark pulled us up by the bootstraps. If she hadn’t gotten
Margaritaville off the ground, we may not have an anchor here in the central
beach.”
