It has been a year since the CRA Board was dismissed and the commission took over on a 3 - 2 vote.Then in November the Board changed again - since November - the Commission and CRA Board have shown great leadership in moving many things forward and providing a unified and stable climate for development.
Some of the great things that have happened include: saving Galaxy School!!!, Helping the Chamber of Commerce in relocating to their new home on Congress by paying for permits!, Promoting the positive side of Boynton Beach High school and its great programs for students i.e. choir, aeronautic program, and so much more.
Moving forward conceptually with the Downtown Master Plan, Heart of Boynton projects with American Realty and Auburn Group which if they come to fruition will provide quality affordable housing in the most needed part of the city!, Not raising the milage and holding the line on taxes as they have been working to keep a balance budget when many other cities are increasing fees and taxes to cover short falls. Instead our Mayor and the commission decided to freeze hiring, cut non essentials without cutting programs or service, and to use 4 million in reserves and putting in a fire assessment that will only be $68 per resident. This done after many capital projects have been done over the past couple years - Intracoastal Park , Jaycee Park, Library expansion, Fire stations. !!! This plus great events for residents such Holiday Parade & Concert featuring Three Dog Night, Heritage Festival with the Commodores all free due to sponsorships, Ocean Front Concert series in season - once again sponsorship! More to come.
