At the TDC meeting on April 9, they allocated funds from the prior year's unappropriated fund balance toward special public facilities projects that enhance Monroe County parks and public spaces. Funding approved totalled $9,732,655 across all five districts.  

According to the TDC “These investments support initiatives that elevate the visitor experience while enriching the daily lives of local residents, ensuring Monroe County's parks and public assets remain vibrant, accessible, and sustainable for all.”

For District IV, and the Village, $750,000 has been allocated for Founders Park for serving residents and visitors with waterfront access and facilities.

A huge thank you to the TDC for this special public facilities program that will help Islamorada fund important marina improvements promoted by Vice Mayor Sharon Mahoney to help local boaters, fishing guides and Islamorada visitors… and now no taxpayer funds required!  

Thank you Sharon for working with the community to make Islamorada a better place for everyone.
