from improved roads, sidewalks and stormwater systems.
The program will maintain the stability of Boca Raton’s
infrastructure by defending against potential failures
through proactive, collaborative planning.
Smart infrastructure investments like these prevent
future problems, attract businesses to relocate here, and
ultimately save taxpayers money. As a result, Boca Raton
residents pay some of the lowest rates in South Florida.
Boca Raton will continue to prioritize investments in
our infrastructure, so that we can remain one of the best
places to live. 
