City Commission CRA Board Meeting and Conference Meeting - Oct 6, 2026
The city needs a new downtown sewer lift station and, working with the DDA, has landed on the southern edge of the One-Stop Shop site. Good design and landscaping could make it nearly invisible, as at the Las Olas Marina.
City Commission (Regular) - Jun 16, 2026
Downtown sewer capacity is choking new development; staff got the green light to explore a land swap with a private property owner for a new lift station after other sites fell through.
City Commission Conference Meeting and CRA Meeting - Mar 19, 2026
Downtown is growing so fast the current A-7 sewer lift station is nearly maxed out, and four approved developments plus the new City Hall need a new $11.5 million station. The commission couldn't agree on where to put it — staff likes the One-Stop Shop site, but the Mayor suggested the community court building or county bus station, and the DDA wants one more look at private land.
