Creating a Downtown Civic Engagement Task Force

Mayor Andy Thomson requested the creation of a Downtown Civic Engagement Task Force, which aims to facilitate a structured, community-driven process for gathering input regarding the future of Memorial Park and surrounding public spaces. The task force will consist of nine members appointed by the city council, with Mayor Thomson serving as chair.

• Community Input on Memorial Park
• Public Spaces Planning
• Downtown Campus Plan Development
• Task Force Meetings and Updates

The idea behind the task force is to proceed with a downtown campus plan that begins with community input, as opposed to the Terra/Frisbie proposal that was criticized for moving quickly and with poor communication from the city. By involving the community in the planning process, the goal is to create a more inclusive and collaborative approach to shaping the future of Boca Raton’s public spaces.
