🚧 The SW 49 Street Culvert Replacement Project has started. Please follow posted detour signs in the area, as SW 49 Street is closed between Natalie's Cove Road and SW 120 Avenue until approximately August 2026. This grant-funded project is needed to maintain proper drainage, roadway stability, and public safety in the surrounding areas.
See more information about this project.
We are all set for our 67th Annual Founder's Day: "Americana Fest" on Saturday, March 14. It's all happening RAIN or SHINE, so don't miss a minute of the family fun. From the One-Mile Fun Run/Walk, starting at 8:30 AM, to the Drone & Fireworks Show at 8:30 PM, get all the details you need.
Visit our Founder's Day Page with the full schedule and helpful information.
We understand fireworks can sometimes startle animals, and we encourage residents with horses, livestock, or other sensitive pets to plan accordingly for the evening. Our goal is to ensure everyone can remain safe and comfortable while we celebrate together.
We are proud to announce the award of a $450,000 grant through the Broward County Resilient Broward Grant Program to support the SW 49 Street Culvert Replacement Project.
On Tuesday, March 10, Broward County Commissioner Steve Geller presented a celebratory check to the City Commission, recognizing the City’s success in securing funding for this important infrastructure project. With this awarded money, the City has now secured more than $2.3 million for the culvert replacement project. These grant dollars are specifically intended to support resiliency projects, such as a culvert replacement.
The funding now includes:
💰 $1.3 million from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
💰$575,000 from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)
💰$450,000 from the Broward County Resilient Broward Grant Program
This multi-agency funding strategy helps strengthen our infrastructure while reducing the financial impact on residents.
Learn more about City projects receiving grant funding.
Our Utilities Department has completed a temporary change in the water disinfection process, which began on February 17. We returned to our standard disinfection method on March 10. See more information about this completed project.
The City Commission will hold a Special Recognition Meeting this evening, March 10, at 5:30 PM followed by a Regular Meeting at 6:30 PM. Both meetings will take place at City Hall located at 9090 SW 50 Place. See the agendas.

ROAD CLOSURE REMINDER: Construction is set to start on the existing culvert located at SW 49th Street, between Natalie's Cove Road & SW 120 Avenue, TUESDAY, MARCH 10.
Throughout the entirety of the project, which is heavily supported by grant funding, this section of SW 49th Street will not be accessible to vehicles or pedestrians between Natalie's Cove Road and SW 120th Avenue. As a result, residents who live on the west side of the project will need to use an alternate route, especially when commuting to and from Griffin Elementary School and Bill Lips Sports Complex.
