Boca Starting to Look Like the Dump?


On September 30, 2009 it was reported in the Sun-Sentinel that Boca's budget for landscaping is getting tight and is sinking. Boca Raton spends millions of dollars a year annually keeping the city literally "looking like a million dollars." They pride themselves on their picturesque landscaping. In 2005 the city spent a whopping $7.3 million, in 2010 they are looking at $5 million. The reasons for this is many medians have seen updates and cosmetic surgery. Another reason is the economy, which has less development. Utility taxes are source of income and less development equals less money. So Boca will be downgrading its greenery around the city. I urge residents not to get too frazzled and/or displaced.
