LORE's Commitment to the Community

The Lake Okeechobee Regional Economic Alliance of Palm Beach County Inc. (LORE) is a regional economic development organization comprised of business owners, community leaders and citizens of Belle Glade, Pahokee, South Bay and Canal Point.

The vision of the LORE Alliance is to see a vital economy that offers business and career opportunities building upon the diversity, beauty and natural and human assets of the Glades Region.

Staying committed to that mission, LORE implemented the Façade Grant Program - an incentive available to businesses located in the Palm Beach County Lake Okeechobee Region for aesthetic improvements to the exterior of a commercial building and/or site. To date, the Façade Grant Program has awarded ten local businesses a grant assisting them with their improvements. From painting the exterior to installing new windows and signs, the façade program has helped local business owners beautify their property.

“The Lake region of Palm Beach County offers endless opportunities for economic development which we recognize.  It is our desire to ensure we assist in growing it smart for a wholesome quality of life for everyone here,” said Ashley Tripp, president of LORE.

The LORE Alliance holds monthly board meetings the second Thursday of each month at the Workforce Alliance Career Center in Belle Glade at 3 p.m. The next board meeting is Thursday, Jan. 14. The public is invited and encouraged to attend as LORE is working diligently on community issues.
