CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT, COMMUNITY INVESTMENT AND INFASTRUCTURE PLANS

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT, COMMUNITY INVESTMENT AND INFASTRUCTURE PLANS

These are projects that I have started and will continue.

  • Construction for the new Prospect Road Wall will begin soon and we are investing approximately $2,917,730 to build it.

  • Worked with Broward County to reduce the speed limit along Prospect Ave.

  • The City invested approximately $734,000 to purchase the parcels of land across the street from Caporella Park so that we can transform it into an “artsy-multipurpose” parking lot – thus allowing Caporella Park the opportunity to serve its full potential!

  • Caporella Park will be renovated to the tune of $4,113,937 – to become one of our city’s most adorable parks that will serve you and your neighbors.

  • The City owned land at Central Parc will be developed into a park at the tune of $10,000,000 to benefit you! The project will begin soon, and community input will be collected in November before the construction begins.

  • More projects, including constructing a wall along NW 31st Ave., have been budgeted and will commence soon. We will be investing almost $635,405 into that project.

  • The construction of a barrier wall along Commercial Blvd., west of Rock Island Road, toward Shaker Village has been budgeted for and will commence soon. We will be investing almost $635,405 into that project.

  • We are now moving forward in the process to connect the eastside water supply to the Westside distribution system. We are investing approximately $10,784,800 for this project. ALL Tamarac communities east of 441 will be included in this project.

  • Repaving of the Mainlands 1-5 and Shaker Village Streets have been budgeted at $3,533,000 combined and the improvements will begin soon.

  • We are working to acquire the Shaker Village club house property in order to rebuild their club house as a Community Facility, repave their roads and address flooding concerns.

  • I launched a free paint program providing $200 to each home owner who applied and qualified.

  • I sponsored an Education Committee that acts as the liaison between the City of Tamarac and the Broward County School Board; this board implements strategies to keep our children safe and ensure they report to good ranking schools.

  • I championed a Senior Discount Prescription Program, so that our Tamarac Seniors receive a discount on their prescriptions.

  • I advocated for the City to work with AARP so that we bring the right senior programs to our City. That partnership is now sponsored and funded.
