PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The City of Boynton Beach obtained 1101 N. Federal Highway through a Certificate of Title due to the structure being deemed unsafe. In September 2023, the City demolished the structure and transferred the vacant lot to the BBCRA for future redevelopment of the site for a entryway feature onto Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. 

In concert to the City's Unity Project which features a mural by Craig McInnis on the south facing wall of the building to the north, the BBCRA is pursuing redevelopment of the vacant lot at 1101 N. Federal Highway to compliment the mural. Improvements of the site will include the demolition of the existing driveway and curbing and the addition of lighting, landscaping, and small walking path. 

Preliminary designs will be presented at the November 21, 2024 Board meeting to begin the collaborative planning process and solicit additional ideas for the Entry Feature Park. We invite you attend at 6 P.M. in Commission Chambers located in City Hall at 100 E. Ocean Avenue.
