Boynton Beach Means Business
– AUGUST UPDATES
| |
Message from the Director
What an incredible way to close out the summer! Our Small Business Summit welcomed 170 attendees for a morning filled with practical insights, new ideas, valuable resources, and meaningful connections. The response from our community continues to strengthen our commitment to creating opportunities that move Boynton Beach forward. And that work extends beyond business—economic development is also about workforce, civic engagement, and building a community where everyone has a role in our progress. As we shift our focus to the upcoming Citizens Academy, we look forward to opening new conversations, strengthening connections, and giving residents a closer look at how their city works. When businesses, residents, and local government are engaged, we all benefit.
Gigi Chazu - Division Director
