Cooper City's Strategic Plan Workshop |
The City Commission held a workshop on Tuesday, February 1, to discuss the development of Cooper City's Strategic Plan. The City Commission reviewed the draft plan and made some additions to the objectives and strategic priorities. The draft plan will now be modified and finalized.
Chief among the discussion on Tuesday evening was residents' input on the desire for a city center and better connectivity within the city. Through the strategic plan, work will begin to find a potential path that could be brought before residents.

Residents and businesses across Cooper City received a utility bill in the mail today. As detailed in a previous communication, there was a delay in delivery due to an error by the vendor responsible for printing and mailing utility bills.
This most recent bill should have arrived in a white envelope, unlike the usual postcard which Cooper City Utility Customers are accustomed to. Please note, the City is not assessing late penalties of any kind on utility bills.
An email will allow our Utility Billing Customer Service team to provide assistance in the fastest and most efficient way possible.
