NEW DOWNTOWN AREA

The new downtown area will offer a yachting marina, outdoor performance square and exhibit of kinetic art sculptures. Promenade Park, a natural preserve, will provide scenic walking and jogging trails bordering the ICW and Pedestrian Promenade, and interconnecting walkway, and will link the city's 40-acre Mangrove Nature Walk and RiverWalk with the marina and performance square.

City looks to developers to help compete Heart of Boynton project
(6-25-06)

The City of Boynton Beach has dropped all its eminent-domain proceedings on key properties needed to complete the original vision of plans to redevelop the heart of Boynton, and is turning to developers to complete the project to avoid going to court over issues. July 26th is the deadline for developers to offer proposals and they must acquire lots in the project’s first phase that the city and the Community Redevelopment Agency couldn’t secure, which includes 12 properties, out of 30 parcels along Seacrest and Martin King Boulevards.

The area is home to longtime residents and rundown buildings, businesses, vacant lots and churches. Residents demands include that relocation costs be covered and residents guaranteed a chance to return; that the area not be overrun by high-rise buildings and expensive retailers.
