• Creation of a community garden and outdoor amphitheater

The CRA is working closely with the City of Boca Raton to bring these plans to life, with an estimated completion date of 2027.

Civic Engagement Plans

In addition to its development projects, the Boca Raton CRA is also focused on increasing civic engagement in the community. The agency has established a number of initiatives aimed at promoting public participation and involvement in local decision-making processes.

• Community outreach programs and town hall meetings
• Development of an online platform for residents to provide feedback and suggestions
• Collaboration with local organizations and community groups to promote civic engagement

The CRA believes that by engaging the community in the planning process, it can create a more inclusive and responsive government that truly represents the needs and interests of its citizens.

Next Steps

The Boca Raton CRA will continue to work on its development projects and civic engagement initiatives over the coming months. Residents are encouraged to stay informed about these efforts by visiting the agency’s website or attending one of its upcoming community meetings.
