AFFORDABLE CONNECTIVITY PROGRAM

 -

Affordable Connectivity Program.

The Emergency Broadband Benefit Program is now the Affordable Connectivity Program.

The Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program was launched by the FCC in late February last year in response to the pandemic to offer affordable Internet to qualifying households. This program acknowledged that work from home, remote learning, and critical telehealth should be available to all Americans. As a result of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Care Act (IIJCA), the EBB program became the Affordable Connectivity Program as of last December. The ACP focuses on affordable connectivity issues in the long-term over the next 5 years, not just as a response to the pandemic.

Converged Services is working diligently with participating providers to bring the greatest value of the Affordable Connectivity Program to communities and their residents. If you would like to learn how to sign-up, please send an email to info@convergedservicesinc.com.

PROPERTY TAX REDUCTION VOTED BY COUNTY COMMISSION

 -

Property taxes
Board votes to reduce
property tax rate

Because of rising property values and new construction, the Board of County Commissioners is able to present a balanced budget at public hearings that are scheduled for Sept. 13 and 20. In addition, the board voted during a meeting on July 12 to lower the property tax rate from 4.7815 to 4.715 per $1000 taxable value.

The last time the board reduced the property tax rate was 15 years ago. By lowering the proposed millage the typical homeowner is expected to save around $30 per year compared to not lowering the rate. Most homestead property taxpayers will see a slight increase in their tax bill because the value of their properties has risen.

“I want to be a good steward of taxpayer dollars,” said Vice Mayor Weiss, “so if we can give people back some of their money after balancing our budget without cutting services, I’m in favor of that.”

KOLTER LAND DEVELOPERS PURCHASE ERSTWHILE GOLF COURSE FOR $37 MILLION - HERE WE GO AGAIN

 

By   –  Senior Reporter, South Florida Business Journal

A former golf course on the outskirts of Century Village near West Palm Beach sold to homebuilders for $36.92 million.

Fairways LLC, owned by Andrew Waldman and Ana Waldman in Deerfield Beach, sold the 57.3-acre site at the southwest corner of Century Boulevard and Haverhill Road to KL Reflection Bay LLC, an affiliate of Delray Beach-based Kolter Land, the residential land development arm of Kolter Group. Arlington, Texas-based D.R. Horton (NYSE: DHI) provided an $8 million mortgage to the buyer.

The property last sold for $2.3 million in 2004, when it was purchased from the Turtle Bay Country Club.

Kolter Land President Jim Harvey said his company will develop the lots and D.R. Horton will be the homebuilder. It will take about six months to complete the planning and engineering for the project, he added. It will be called Reflection Bay. The home sizes haven’t been finalized, he added.

They are seeking to build 707 homes there. D.R. Horton filed the application to rezone the former golf course in 2021.

Many golf courses in South Florida have been redeveloped as the cost to maintain golf courses has increased while home values have soared, making these properties more valuable as residential communities.
