West Palm Beach commissioners are getting ready to vote today on a land transfer that could shape the future of Coleman Park, the city’s historic Black neighborhood.

If approved, the land would go to Palm Beach Venture Philanthropy, a division of the nonprofit Quantum Foundation.

The public-private partnership is aimed at preserving the area’s character amid rapid development in the city.
