Why are businesses moving from Delray to Boca?
Office Depot - leaving for Boca this fall.
Costco - moved to Boca.
Circuit City closed Delray store but kept Boca store open - remember how long Linton Blvd. was torn up with construction.
Anthony Fanelli, owner of Boys Farmer's Market was quoted in the Sunday, Apr. 20 edition of the Sun-Sentinel that he would never build in Delray again.
Now the plan to attract large businesses is to build a huge, out-of-scale hotel downtown Delray Beach where the old library used to be. It will have office space and supposedly big companies just won't be able to resist moving in there.
That is so silly I can't even think of a comment.
Businesses in Delray are leaving and the question is why.
Clearly Boca Raton is doing a lot right or companies would not go to all of the expense and upheaval involved to move.
What do you think?

The commission is asleep. Delray is much more charming than Boca and we have lots to sell but no leadership to sell it. P.S. The new hotel is needed and it's not too big. It's beautifully designed and the same size as the Colony.
