      Construction Starts On PGA
      Service Center


        The construction vehicles are in place, and I am excited
      to announce construction is underway on the newest,
      state-of-the art service center in Palm Beach Gardens.
        This new service center, located on PGA Boulevard, is
      part of our ongoing commitment to provide the citizens
      of Palm Beach County unparalleled service. As the North
      County grows, we must expand our service capabilities
      to accommodate the needs of the community.
        Gone is the small DMV building that once stood at
      the site to be replaced with a 23,735-square-foot facility
      designed with a bright and spacious interior. The new
      location will provide expanded road test capabilities and
      ample parking and room for expansion to meet the needs
      of our growing community.
        The population of Palm Beach County is expected to
      grow by 16 percent by 2030. For every new home built,
      an additional 2.3 people will need the services of the tax
      collector’s office. This new service center will give us
      the ability to meet these needs and serve clients more
      efficiently now and in the future. We are very fortunate
      to be able to bring this new facility to the surrounding
      communities.
        When construction is complete in early 2024, the
      current  Tax  Collector’s  Service  Center  in  the  North
      County Governmental Center will close. The new service
      center in the City of Palm Beach Gardens will be the third
      facility designed by architectural firm Song + Associates
      and constructed by The Morganti Group Inc., both in West
      Palm Beach.
