This year is extra special because it marks the 30th anniversary<br />
of the 100-foot Christmas Tree Lighting. This beloved Delray Beach<br />
tradition, dating back to 1993, has certainly become one of the<br />
most anticipated holiday events in Palm Beach County. Head over<br />
to Old School Square Park at 6 p.m. to see why our tree was named<br />
“Best Tree in the State of Florida” by Travel + Leisure. Visit delraybeachfl.gov<br />

WATER TREATMENT PLANT PROJECT UPDATE<br />
Our new water treatment plant will ensure a state-of-the-art<br />
water treatment process, advance the City’s monitoring and control<br />
systems, and improve water pressure. I am pleased to report<br />
that the project planning phases are in motion. Five design-build<br />
teams submitted proposals. The selection committee has shortlisted<br />
the top three ranked firms to participate in interviews for<br />
final selection. Once those interviews are complete, the highestranked<br />
firm will be presented to the City Commission for consideration<br />
and approval to proceed with contract terms/scope negotiation.<br />
If approval is granted, the draft contract is expected to be<br />
placed on a city commission agenda in January 2024.
