Art is a powerful tool. Art in redevelopment has the power to connect, celebrate, and transform a community. The newly installed mural at the northwest corner of E. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Federal Highway commemorates the Heart of Boynton community and its vibrant culture. The artwork completed by muralist, Craig McInnis is the result of the City of Boynton Beach’s Unity Project. But the transformation doesn’t stop with the mural.
In September 2023, the City demolished the structure located on the parcel to the south of the mural located at 1101 N. Federal Highway and transferred the lot the BBCRA for future redevelopment of an entryway feature onto Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Improvements of the site will include lighting, landscaping, art, and a small walking path which will enhance the beauty of the mural.
The BBCRA recently enlisted the services of AW Architects Inc. to develop three conceptual designs for a passive park/entry feature on the vacant parcel. We invite you to attend the October 8, 2024, Board Meeting to participate in the presentation.
Together, the mural and entry feature park will be a shiny example of how art and outdoor spaces can transform a corridor.
