Boynton Beach Boulevard District 

The Boynton Beach Boulevard District is envisioned to serve as a welcoming and beautiful entry into the Downtown District. This District consists of the Boynton Beach Boulevard corridor between I-95 and the FEC Railway. This area is the main entry into the downtown from the I-95 exit and will therefore establish the first impression that visitors and many residents have of the City. The District also provides easy access to the City’s public beach, the Boynton Harbor Marina, City Hall & Library and the Children’s Schoolhouse Museum. Pedestrians will be encouraged to walk along the broad sidewalks in the shade of mature trees to visit the various stores and restaurants along the corridor. Investors will see the value of developing in downtown Boynton Beach based on the public improvements and will begin to assemble land for development of mixed-use projects. 

Cultural District

The Cultural District is the smallest of the six planning districts and is envisioned to be the principal hub for the City’s civic uses, public spaces and events. The concentration of public art and other cultural amenities will foster a sense of community. Its boundaries are Seacrest Boulevard to the west, NE 1^st Avenue to the north, the FEDC Railway to the east and SE 2^nd Avenue to the south. The western section of the District is almost completely occupied by civic uses which is now home to the newly completed City Hall & Library, Amphitheater, Cultural Center, the Children’s Schoolhouse Museum and two public playgrounds. 

Downtown District 

The Downtown District's vision is a place where people live, work and play in an environment that provides bikeable and walkable access to the beach, restaurants, transit, parks and cultural experiences. There will be areas to gather and socialize. Entrepreneurs will open new restaurants and businesses crating financial benefits to the local economy. Attractive new buildings will provide housing for people of all ages and incomes and accommodate new shops and restaurants. This District is also home to the Boynton Harbor Marina which has become a tourism destination by preserving a working waterfront and supporting the local boating community.

Federal Highway District 

The Federal Highway District is approximately 2.5 miles long and serves as a major point of entry into the City and the downtown from both the north and south direction. The vision of this District includes a mix of uses that front the road, improve, and activate the area. The streetscape will encourage biking and walking by providing shade, attractive lighting and a sense of safety.

Heart of Boynton District 

The Heart of Boynton is a 380-acre neighborhood developed predominantly with single-family homes. The neighborhood also has several parks, two public schools and numerous churches. It is the mission of the BBCRA to transform the Heart of Boynton into a model neighborhood with its unique character and history preserved. The vision includes enriching the original vernacular architecture of the neighborhood, investing in housing and commercial uses, and connecting both through the pedestrian and vehicular networks.

Industrial Craft District 

Industrial Craft District is a 49-acre area entirely comprised of industrial uses and is located in the westernmost area of the BBCRA boundaries just west of I-95. The goal of the BBCRA is to ensure the development of the Industrial Craft District as a viable, modern district that will accommodate a range of uses and businesses while providing economic benefits for the City.
