WELLINGTON VILLAGE COUNCIL MOVING STADIUM JUMPING PLANS AHEAD

Two measures were approved to build a new facility on 179 acres in southern Wellington, paving the way for horse show producer Stadium Jumping to move forward. A second vote for final approval will be held later this month. This will allow Stadium Jumping to skip the time-consuming comprehensive plan amendment process for large-scale developments, which require state review. Stadium Jumping has claimed that its current 79-acre facility at Palm Beach Polo Equestrian Club are too small for it’s National Horse Show and Winter Equestrian Festival. This issue though still remains a problem to many who are against skipping the comprehensive plan amendment.
