West Palm Beach Awarded $8.1M Federal RAISE Grant to Improve West Palm Beach Neighborhoods

Some West Palm Beach neighborhoods will see some big improvements after the City received an $8.1 million federal RAISE grant. That grant, combined with the addition of about $2 million in municipal funding, will bring upgrades that residents have been hoping for.

Rethink Paradise Sustainability Action Plan:

Community Input

We want to hear from you! The City is updating its Rethink Paradise Sustainability Action Plan and is seeking public input to help improve and prioritize the plan. We are asking West Palm Beach's residents, businesses, and visitors to review the identified actions and provide feedback. The Plan is designed to address resilience challenges that meet the community's present needs while preserving resources for future generations; balancing human needs with the needs of our cultural and natural environments.

The Community Input Form will be available until July 31, 2023, and should take approximately 15 minutes to complete.

If you want to request a paper version of the form, please contact the Office of Sustainability at (561) 804-4994 (TTY 800-955-8771) or email sustainability@wpb.org.
