CRA CAPITAL PROJECTS
COMPLETED
AT HOME IN BOYNTON BEACH
You may have heard the talk all around South Florida…Boynton Beach
is the new hot spot for redevelopment. The third largest city in Palm
Beach County is undergoing a renaissance of epic proportions. Just like
its predecessors in downtown Delray Beach to the south and West Palm

as “The Little House” Restaurant
Beach to the north, this ideally located community has been targeted for
growth with the support of an active government CRA program. Boynton
Beach’s prime location between two major airports—14 miles from PBIA
and 37 miles from Ft. Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport – is just
one aspect that makes it so appealing. With some of the finest beaches
in the state and a dynamic waterfront, Boynton Beach is poised to join
Ocean Avenue Amphitheater
Delray and West Palm Beach as the next vibrant redevelopment success
story. It’s our pleasure to share a glimpse of Boynton Beach’s future.

INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM
Nine pieces of iconic kinetic art was installed in Boynton
Beach last fall in preparation for the International Kinetic
Art Exhibit & Symposium held in February. The event
attracted artists from around the country. The nine

RENAISSANCE
The Boynton Beach CRA has focused on food and
dining as core components of the redevelopment
plan. In addition to long-time local favorites like
Hurrican Alleys, the CRA has spent more than $220,000
to assist in the startup of several new restaurants and
bars. Now the City is emerging as a libation destination
with the opening of bars such as Sweetwater, The
Backyard and Due South, a microbrewery now
distributing throughout the area. More are on the way.
“If you find us, you’re obviously looking for something
cool, and you’re going to bring your cool friends,”
says Sean Iglehart part-owner of Sweetwater. Most of
the new establishments pride themselves on serving
local and craft beer, reflecting the trend in the market
moving to unique entertainment venues. The area has
also welcomed Biergarten, a European-style tavern
with seven table taps where patrons can pour their
own beer, billed by the ounce.
