For over one year the members of the AdHoc Historic Preservation Commission has worked on this. Their recommendation of having a full time preservation planner to guide Boynton Beach’s future efforts in this area was heeded. The benefits are many. Listen to the audio of tonights meeting and you will hear Harvey Oyer speak to us through his son who bears his name.
We uplift our community by showing respect to its history. At tonight’s Boynton Beach City Commission meeting the unanimous vote indicates commitment to this tremendous benefit to the community! I came away with the idea that Boynton Beach was on its way.
Is there a way we can get local people and businesses involved in raising funds for restoration projects? The city claims they are broke.
Hello Bob and thank you for expressing concern about raising funds for restoration projects. I am a member of the city’s Hist. Pres. Ad Hoc committee, and have led the fight to save our Old High School for reuse as a Community Culural Center. I would be happy to speak with you and fill you in on what’s happening around BB regarding Hist. Pres. efforts. If you are on Facebook, we have a page for the school SAVE HISTORIC BOYNTON HIGH or you can email me at:
