It’s Time to Kill the One Stop Shop Deal

So the Fort Lauderdale City Commission is taking another look at the One Stop Shop deal this week at their Tuesday conference meeting. It’s been over three years since they handed over this big chunk of public land with over $35M and still literally nothing has happened. No permits and no construction.

Now there are questions about whether the developer even has financing in place, and it looks like the city staff was only shown documents over Zoom instead of receiving actual copies. One letter from an investor isn’t even being included in the presentation to the commission.

This deal has had critics from day one and it’s looking worse with time. Worth a read if you’re following local stuff.
