What’s Next for Save Boca
July 24 - July 31, 2025
Save Boca volunteers could hardly keep up with city residents who came just to sign their petitions and leave with a yard sign. Or stopped to sign on their way in and out of the Downtown Library where they’re outside under the porte cochere Tuesdays and Saturdays 9 a.m. to noon and 2 p.m. Sundays. “I just hope it works,” one signer said on Sunday. What started as Jon Pearlman’s reaction to finding out the city may relocate two parks and some rec facilities to make way for a new downtown government center with a hotel, housing and retail has turned into what he describes as a “grassroots movement.” An east Boca resident for 12 years, he thought only a new city hall was in the works. Then he went to the charette the Terra & Frisbie Group had so residents could see a model and renderings of the first iteration of their site plan. City council chose them on Feb. 11 as a joint venture partner for the project they’ve since revised based on resident feedback. See on Page 10
