The city has officially moved to approve our plans for the Midtown development project. It is rewarding to see our collective vision recognized as a positive path forward for our community. I look forward to watching these blocks evolve into the space we worked hard to secure.

I grew up in Boca Raton and went to Delray Elementary and Carver middle school. I have lived on N Swinton Ave for 18 years. S Swinton and the historic homes have been falling apart since I moved to Delray 18 years ago. I think improving Middle Delray would be a wonderful addition to our lovely city.
This area is the neighborhood I live in and I am so excited that finally it will be revitalised and those beautiful historic homes preserved for future generations.I completely support their efforts!
Start with the revitalization and beautification of Swinton to 1-95, then South Swinton. This revitalization began before the housing bust in the mid-2000's. Get this back up and running. I fully support any revitalization OFF the AVE. Delray Beach is more than The Ave. Listen to your taxpayers.
It is nice to see someone re-purpose older buildings as part of re-development. It combines old world charm with developmental change that happens with growth of a community.
This looks like an outstanding projects. I love that it combines historic elements and pedestrian walkways with seating and water elements. Beautifully done with the correct scale and height for that corner. Underground parking to eliminate that look and the large plaza at the corner. YOU DID IT!! Count me in.
I give my full support to the Midtown Delray project.
From a seed...grows a flower...to a new beginning...cudos and blessings ..to your progressive ..persistance..that has payed off..and to all those..forward thinkers and the collective efforts..to your team and the community at large..

The city needs this as right now it is a blight on an otherwise beautiful city. The extra taxes to the city are a plus as well as the development will bring much needed jobs in these difficult economic times.
