The City of Plantation is pleased to be included in the 2023-24 State of Florida budget. The City requested and received an appropriation in the amount of $225,000 to complete needed Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements. We are matching this amount with funding of $225,000 from the municipal budget. These improvements will target the City’s municipal complex which includes City Hall, the Development Services Building, and the Police Department. Funds will be available after the commencement of the State’s budget year, July 1, 2023.
 We were green before green was cool!
The City has many green practices already in place throughout Plantation, such as the residential recycling program, environmentally friendly construction and demolition debris management requirements, miles of multi-use recreation trails, and the establishment of “healthy neighborhoods” such as Plantation Midtown, which makes it safer and easier for residents to navigate throughout the community without the use of a motorized vehicle.
Did you Know? - The City adopted an administrative policy banning the use of polystyrene (styrofoam) products at events taking place on City property or in City facilities.
This prohibition will be incorporated into City contracts and agreements going forward. The City also prohibits intentional release of helium filled balloons on City property.
