Belle Glade Marina Improvements

Belle Glade is the largest city within the Everglades in the heartland of Florida. Belle Glade, Pahokee, and South Bay (also known as "The Glades") is a major hub of the Florida Heartland, the state’s big-time agriculture territory – and has has long since been one the country’s top suppliers of sugar cane, vegetables, and fruits.
