Comments:

In recognition of the tremendous potential for revitalization in the old “heart” of Deerfield Beach and that a shared community vision is crucial to achieving a successful and sustainable outcome, the City of Deerfield Beach Planning and Development Services Department submitted an application to the American Planning Association’s (APA) CPAT program in June 2014 for planning assistance for a newly revitalized town center just east of the Florida East Coast Railroad and Dixie Highway corridor. The CPAT team prepared a land use and urban design plan.
