West Delray condo owners still wait to return after Wilma
Elena Ecker points to what used to be her kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and living room.
The one-bedroom condo is now just a shell divided by metal beams and a plywood roof.
Ecker’s home is one of an estimated 375 units at Kings Point empty since Hurricane Wilma hit the retirement community west of Delray Beach. An additional 125 units remain damaged.
Fifteen months after the storm, residents of several sections in the 55-and-older community are back to day one: looking for a contractor who can finish repairs and figuring out how to pay for them.
