The launch caps a standout year for CSRIPS, which was named School of the Year by the Florida Association of Postsecondary Schools and Colleges (FAPSC) in recognition of its exceptional programs, community engagement, and student success.

Public Safety Re-Accreditation and Certification

The department also earned Silver and Bronze Telly Awards for four original videos selected from more than 13,000 entries worldwide, placing Coral Springs alongside globally recognized brands. Additional recognition at the 3CMA Conference included the city’s first-ever Diamond Award, the highest honor in government communications, as well as multiple Savvy and Silver Circle Awards for outstanding work in photography, graphic design, branding, and marketing campaigns.

The award totals $2,483,447, representing a major federal investment that will strengthen emergency response capabilities and enhance public safety throughout the community.

Administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the SAFER Grant program provides funding directly to fire departments and volunteer firefighter organizations to help increase or maintain the number of trained, front-line firefighters. The goal of the program is to ensure that communities meet established staffing, response, and operational standards to deliver effective emergency services.

Through this funding, which will be distributed over a threeyear period, the city will hire 12 new firefighters to support the growing needs of Coral Springs and Parkland. The city will also contribute $1,543,765 in matching funds, demonstrating a continued commitment to premier public safety, operational readiness, and the well-being of residents.

A Family-Friendly Community

We commend our schools for excellence and achievements. Riverside Elementary, Country Hills Elementary, Eagle Ridge Elementary, Park Springs Elementary, and Coral Springs Charter School were named Schools of Excellence by the Florida Department of Education, demonstrating dedication to quality

education. Coral Springs Middle School and Park Springs Elementary were also named 2025 Florida Model Schools for their Positive Behavior Intervention and Support programs, setting a standard for supportive, inclusive, and safe learning environments.

Together, these achievements showcase the city’s commitment to uplifting students, supporting educators, and creating a community where young people succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.

CRIME IS DOWN

The Coral Springs Police Department continually monitors crime trends, and recent data shows that our community remains one of the safest cities in South Florida. Our officers employ proactive strategies, community policing, and data-driven enforcement to maintain neighborhood safety. The department also regularly publishes crime statistics to ensure transparency and keep residents informed. The city remains committed to maintaining the high level of safety for which Coral Springs is known, and we will continue to work closely with residents to keep our community secure.

Accessibility and Inclusion

This past year, the City of Coral Springs made meaningful strides in supporting residents with special needs through new initiatives designed to elevate inclusion and strengthen community collaboration. We proudly hosted our firstever Exceptional Voices Community Forum, creating an open platform for residents to share experiences, identify challenges, and help shape future improvements. Building on this momentum, the city developed a strategic framework for our ADA/Special Needs Coordinator that includes assessing programs citywide and establishing an advisory group dedicated to providing ongoing guidance and feedback. Together, these efforts mark an important step toward ensuring every resident has a voice and access to programs and services that meet their needs.

Commission Engagement Strategy

The Commission Engagement Program strengthens the connection between our elected officials and the community by fostering open, meaningful communication with faith-based organizations, homeowners associations, and neighborhood groups. Through this initiative, the Coral Springs City Commission remains accessible and actively listens to residents, working closely with community partners to understand their needs and explore opportunities to better serve them. This ongoing collaboration reflects the city’s commitment to responsive leadership and a more engaged, united Coral Springs.

An Active, Healthy Community

New Swim Club

Swim Coral Springs is an exciting new chapter in our community’s rich aquatic history. Based at the Coral Springs Aquatic Complex, this newly established swim club operates under city leadership, ensuring exceptional coaching, strong discipline, and opportunities for swimmers of all skill levels.

Swim Coral Springs is a year-round program for children ages 6–18 who already know how to swim and are ready to take the next step in their athletic development. Participants should be proficient in the four primary strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. With expert coaches, top-tier facilities, and a supportive team environment, the program offers a pathway for young swimmers to grow, compete, and build confidence.

With its home at the Aquatic Complex and a focus on excellence and community, Swim Coral Springs is set to help young athletes rise to new heights both in and out of the pool.

Coral Springs Let’s Move! Program

The city launched the Coral Springs Let’s Move! program as a fun way to promote community wellness while creating meaningful opportunities for residents to connect with their City Commissioners. Through a series of activity-based events, the program encouraged residents of all ages to get active, try new recreational activities, and engage with local leadership in a relaxed, friendly environment.

From Pickleball, boxing, Soca dance, and indoor golf to guided walks and family-friendly fitness days, Let’s Move! brought neighbors together and strengthened the sense of community that defines Coral Springs. By combining health, recreation, and civic engagement, the initiative reflected the city’s commitment to fostering a healthier, more connected community.

Fitness Park

Riverside Park was completed with a fresh new look and an exciting lineup of amenities designed to promote health, wellness, and outdoor fun for all ages. This $1.2 million capital project, funded in part by $750,000 from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), transformed the park into a vibrant fitness destination for the Coral Springs community. The renovated park now features an obstacle course, ten Pickleball courts, a reimagined playground with a dome climbing structure, a new basketball court, and a scenic fitness trail complete with outdoor exercise stations. With its expanded amenities and focus on community wellness, the new Riverside Park provides residents with a modern, active, and welcoming space to play, train, and connect.

Community Partnerships

The City of Coral Springs joined Broward County Public Schools in celebrating the ribbon-cutting for the newly renovated courts at Forest Glen Middle School. This project highlights our shared commitment to enhancing learning environments and expanding recreational opportunities for the entire community. Through a strong city-school partnership, Coral Springs invested $150,000 to help transform the aging courts into a vibrant, modern space. Three of the six existing tennis courts were converted into brand-new Pickleball courts, while the remaining courts received important upgrades to support student activities and community play. These updates not only enhance the Forest Glen campus, but also strengthen the Turtle Run neighborhood by offering a fun, active, and accessible space for students, families, and residents.

MODERNIZED PARK LIGHTING

As part of Coral Springs’ ongoing commitment to sustainability, safety, and exceptional park experiences, the city has completed major lighting upgrades across multiple recreational facilities. These enhancements feature modern, energy-efficient LED fixtures that improve visibility, reduce environmental impact, and lower long-term maintenance costs.

At Forest Hills Park, the city completed a $343,000 lighting modernization project funded through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The Tennis Center and Cypress Hammock Park also received significant upgrades partially funded by a Department of Energy grant, with 160 fixtures replaced across both facilities.

Riverside Park and Mullins Park saw lighting improvements as well. Mullins Park now features updated lighting over two tennis courts, while Riverside Park benefits from upgraded lighting across 10 Pickleball courts and four volleyball courts. Together, these enhancements were completed at a total cost of $295,000.

Through these completed projects, Coral Springs continues to elevate the quality and sustainability of its parks for residents of all ages.

An Attractive Community

Habitat for Humanity Affordable Housing

Coral Springs is built on community and nothing reflects that spirit more than the Habitat for Humanity milestone that brought 13 deserving families home. With the support of dedicated volunteers, valued partners, and the unwavering commitment of Habitat for Humanity, these families received the keys to their very own houses, marking a powerful moment of hope, hard work, and new beginnings.

CITY AESTHETICS

Aesthetics play a crucial role in creating a shared identity, something that encourages residents to care for and invest in their surroundings. That is why, after three years of dedicated service with the city, Julian Tropepe and Luis Cuellar have stepped into new roles as the city’s first Aesthetics Inspectors. The team is currently focusing its efforts on University Drive, where upcoming initiatives will highlight cleaner, more cohesive commercial corridors. Already, they have begun GIS mapping and have been introducing themselves to business owners and residents as they launch projects along key routes.

City leadership proudly joined in celebrating this achievement. Together, they have listened to residents’ concerns about rising living costs and have worked tirelessly to champion solutions that expand access to affordable housing.

This project also highlights the outstanding work of the city’s Development Services and Building departments, whose collaboration helped turn this vision into reality.

University Drive

University Drive underwent significant upgrades. The FDOT project involved widening the roadway to accommodate two additional travel lanes and expanding bike lanes from NW 40th Street to the Sawgrass Expressway. It also included the relocation of impacted drainage structures, the upgrade of traffic and pedestrian signals at NW 40th Street and Westview Drive, the installation of 77 new light poles along the corridor, and improvements to curb ramps, signage, and pavement markings. These enhancements were designed to improve mobility, increase traffic efficiency, and enhance safety for all motorists.

Master Sign Program

To enhance Coral Springs’ aesthetics, the city developed a Master Sign Program to standardize signage design and placement across facilities, parks, and corridors, ensuring a consistent modern look. New welcoming median signs on Coral Springs Drive and Riverside Drive have been installed, with more coming soon. These efforts help boost property values, attract businesses, and create a welcoming environment for residents and visitors.

Sidewalk Beautification

The city has pressure-cleaned over 34 miles of sidewalks, including major roads such as University Drive, Coral Springs Drive, and Forest Hill Boulevard, as part of its ongoing beautification efforts. These improvements enhance the city’s appearance and pedestrian safety, with more sidewalk cleaning planned. This demonstrates the city’s commitment to maintaining a clean and welcoming environment.

Westview Drive Improvement Project

On Westview Drive, we installed brand new ADA-compliant sidewalks by replacing the existing asphalt with concrete and upgrading the ADA ramps. The work includes creating a wider, 8-foot concrete sidewalk on the north side of Westview Drive and replacing the asphalt sidewalk with a 5-foot concrete sidewalk on the south side.

A Thriving, Resilient Business Community

EDO & CRA Support

The Economic Development Office created a flyer promoting the incentive programs available to businesses in the city. Many of the approved projects also received media coverage resulting in more exposure for the programs and additional applicants.

The Coral Springs Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is continuing its mission to energize and elevate Downtown Coral Springs, approving $300,000 in grants to support the launch of three new eateries at the Cornerstone development. Each received $100,000 through the CRA’s Commercial Property Enhancement Grant Program.

These investments reflect the broader CRA strategy to strengthen the city’s downtown core, attract quality businesses, and create a vibrant, walkable destination for residents and visitors alike.

Savor Shop Be

To better support our growing business community, the city launched a dedicated Business Events Calendar on our website, providing a centralized hub for workshops, networking opportunities, and business-focused programs happening throughout the city. This new tool complements our quarterly business newsletter, which offers valuable resources, updates, and insights tailored to local businesses. Together, these platforms strengthen communication, enhance engagement, and ensure our business community stays informed and connected year-round.

Supported Expanding Businesses in Commerce Park

Coral Springs continues to strengthen its position as a hub for industry and innovation. The Economic Development Office continued its support for local businesses expanding in the Commerce Park. These include CTS Engines, Flora Fine Foods Market and Decoral. These expansions have created hundreds of jobs in the Commerce Park of Coral Springs.

These developments mark a major win not only for the companies but for the entire Coral Springs community, reinforcing the city’s vibrant and resilient business climate.

Downtown Coral Springs

Developers of the Cornerstone project informed the city and the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) that they would be unable to move forward with the planned hotel on the 0.58-acre parcel located on the west side of the development. City staff successfully secured the property at a purchase price well below its appraised value.

Now under city ownership, the parcel is already serving the community by providing additional space for several outdoor Downtown events this fall and winter. City staff are also evaluating long-term options for the site to ensure it achieves the highest and best use and continues to enhance the Downtown area for residents and visitors alike.

WHAT’S TO COME:

Downtown Coral Springs continues to gain momentum as development at Cornerstone moves forward and new destinations take shape. The North Tower of Modera at Cornerstone is now complete, with residents beginning to move in as of Winter 2025, building on the energy created by the already-open south tower. Together, these residences are helping to establish the entire southwest corner of University Drive and Sample Road as a lively, walkable hub for dining, wellness, and social connection in Downtown Coral Springs. New restaurants, retail, and fitness concepts are coming soon, further activating the area and complementing the popularity of TacoCraft. Announced tenants at Cornerstone include:

• Gary Rack’s Farmhouse Kitchen

• Mitch’s Downtown Bagel Café

• Let’s Chill Homemade Ice Cream

• Copenhagen Corner Wine Bar

• Paris Baguette Bakery Café

• Tremble Fitness Studio

• Big Whiskey’s American Restaurant and Bar

Looking ahead, the Coral Springs Museum of Art will relocate to a modern new gallery space in late 2026, featuring prominent frontage along Sample Road. This move will further strengthen Downtown Coral Springs as a destination for arts, culture, dining, wellness, and community gathering— reinforcing its role as a vibrant center of activity for residents and visitors alike.

An Innovative, High-Performing & Sustainable Organization

Composting Education Program

Through hands-on workshops, guest presentations from Waste Management, Filthy Organics, and the Solid Waste Authority of Broward County, and the distribution of household food-scrap collection kits, the program provided residents with practical tools and knowledge to reduce waste at home. Its impact extended far beyond city limits, with other municipalities and regional organizations requesting presentations and program insights. The initiative was even highlighted at the Sterling Council’s Annual Conference in May 2025.

The results demonstrate a strong shift toward greener habits. The program was completed 56% under budget, while monthly household participation rose by 143% following the workshops. In that same period, the volume of organic material diverted from the solid waste stream increased by 118%. Since launching in January 2024, the program has helped divert 18,041 pounds of organic material from disposal.

Solar Pathway Lighting

As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, safety, and exceptional park experiences, the city is upgrading lighting systems across several local parks with energy-efficient LED fixtures. This multi-phase initiative enhances visibility for residents, reduces our environmental footprint and lowers long-term maintenance costs all while making our parks more enjoyable from dusk to dawn.

The first completed upgrade is at Cypress Park, where the city has installed its first-ever solar pathway lights. These new fixtures illuminate the walking path during early mornings and late evenings, offering a safer, more welcoming environment powered entirely by the sun.

Office of Intergovernmental Affairs

The Office of Intergovernmental Affairs (IGA) serves as a liaison among local, state, and federal governments. Its primary responsibilities include advocating specific policies and facilitating appropriation funding. The IGA plays a crucial role in navigating the complexities of a multi-level governance system and ensuring that the government operates effectively for the residents and businesses of the city.

Smart Cities Initiatives

Part of our long-term commitment to innovation, reliability, and future-ready infrastructure, this project is building independent fiber-optic cabling loops that will connect city facilities, parks, public safety operations, and essential services across Coral Springs.

Funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), 30 miles of fiber optic cable will be installed and unite 32 city facilities. Replacing older leased circuits, the new fiber network will allow for faster, more secure data transmission, improved communications, and enhanced capabilities in city services, from traffic signal upgrades and smart infrastructure, to emergency response and everyday operations.

ADVANCEMENTS BEYOND THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

• Implemented AI policy for employees

• Conducted comprehensive exercise to identify gaps in Cybersecurity

• Strengthened security for Public Works SCADA systems

• Began installation of 30 miles of fiber optic for Smart Cities initiative

• Implemented solid waste provider transition with successful communications plan

• Rehabilitated Lift Stations 22A, 21D and Water Wells 18, 10, 6, 2 and 3

• Fulfilled 1,965 requests for public records

• Successfully implemented a digital bulletin board to improve the public noticing process

Hosted Budget & Brews – providing transparency

On the Horizon

As we look ahead to Fiscal Year 2026, there is a strong focus on advancing projects that align with the city’s vision. Major initiatives underway include:

Kiwanis Park Community Center

Work is now nearing completion on the renovation of the original Fire Station 64, which will reopen as the Kiwanis Park Community Center in Spring 2026. The new facility is designed as a flexible, welcoming hub for residents of all ages and will feature a remodeled lounge area with social seating, a renovated kitchen for cooking classes and an outdoor patio for participant use. A large multi-purpose room will accommodate meetings and programs for both youth and seniors, while a staffed front desk will support facility registrations. Recreation amenities will be expanded with a remodeled large indoor court and activity space featuring a new wood sports floor suitable for indoor sports like Pickleball and basketball, complemented by an outdoor multi-use sports court to further support active programming and community engagement.

Communities of Excellence Phase III

Coral Springs continues its participation in the Malcolm Baldrige-based Communities of Resilience and Excellence (CORE) National Learning Collaborative. The completion of Phase III of this process includes a comprehensive documentation of proactive strategies the city and community partners are implementing, along with related community-wide results. Areas of focus for this ongoing initiative include Health, Education, Economic Vitality, and Quality of Life. During the year, key staff in each area participated in facilitated sessions and worked with mentors to learn best practices alongside more than 15 other CORE organizations nationwide. Local partnerships were expanded, such as with the University of Miami Health System, and new connections with our schools, business leaders, and nonprofit organizations continue to be explored.

Aesthetics & Parks

The Citywide Aesthetics initiative is a multi-year plan to address the concerns and feedback of our community. Action items include city staff attending HOA meetings for outreach and educational opportunities, to street sign replacement and improving walkability along the city’s corridors. Improvements are also underway in our parks to enhance overall landscaping and sense of place.

Sportsplex Optimization

The city has entered into an agreement to begin the information gathering and design phase of the Sportsplex Optimization project. This initiative will enhance our quality park offerings and provide residents with expanded recreational opportunities, including a state-of-the-art gymnasium, an outdoor event space, and an increased number of multi-use courts.

Water Treatment Plant

The city entered into an agreement on the design phase of the Water Treatment Plant. We will continue to work with the vendor to provide the Commission with updates on design plans, cost, and project timelines to ensure long-term sustainability and reliable service for our community.

Interoperability (HUB Solution)

The city is working to ensure full E911 interoperability by collaborating with Broward County and our technology vendor. This partnership focuses on creating seamless crosscoverage and the ability to quickly transfer calls for service throughout the county and beyond. These efforts strengthen regional emergency response by ensuring that no matter where a call originates, it can be answered, transferred, and resolved without delay, enhancing both reliability and public safety for residents and visitors alike.
