“RMA is honored to once again be working with Lake Park,” said Sharon McCormick, Director of Business Attraction and Marketing. “In 2017, we assisted the Town with updating their Comprehensive Plan, which ushered in a new era of economic development in the area. Now, we are thrilled to embark on this new endeavor to establish the best marketing and communications strategies for this community in accordance with the updates in the CRA Master Plan.”
Over the next few weeks, the RMA team will engage with local officials, business leaders, and community members to gather valuable input for this comprehensive plan, which will encompass a range of strategies, including branding, style guide development, placemaking, business attraction, retention, and more.
Nestled along the picturesque Lake Worth Lagoon/Intracoastal Waterway, the Town of Lake Park offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern amenities. Incorporated in 1923 as Kelsey City, in honor of its founder, Harry Kelsey, the name was changed to the Town of Lake Park in 1939.
The community’s rich legacy is beautifully reflected in its stunning collection of historic homes. These architectural gems showcase the unique styles and craftsmanship of different eras, providing a glimpse into the past. Lake Park Town Hall, a Mediterranean Revival masterpiece, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as are many private residences.
While cherishing its heritage, Lake Park is emerging as a dynamic and thriving business hub. Renowned chef David Burke will soon open his inaugural Florida restaurant at Nautilus 220, a luxurious waterfront development, and the town was one of just 100 municipalities nationwide chosen to be visited by the National League of Cities during its recent centennial celebration. With approximately 9,000 residents and a bustling business sector within its 2.4 square miles, Lake Park is a vibrant community that seamlessly blends its rich history with a promising future.
