The COVID pandemic fueled a 21st-century great migration of people and wealth that is reshaping the Palm Beaches. That influx of money is transforming the style, landscape, and fortunes of our area, with some communities more and more resembling the tony town of Palm Beach. The migration will bring ever-lasting changes and tremendous challenges. The Palm Beach Post tackles this amazing time in history in a multi-part series titled The Palm Beaching Project.
