Rock the Plaza lands at One Boynton tonight

The city has posted its Community Development Block Grant Annual Action Plan, the document that lays out how Boynton plans to use its federal CDBG dollars. The notice went up June 23. The Annual Action Plan is the formal spending plan tied to the city's federal block-grant funding, which generally supports housing, neighborhood improvement, and community-development work. At this stage the city has published the notice and made the plan available for residents and interested parties to review, and the posting itself is the development worth noting now.

The Pence Park Redevelopment Project is moving toward construction. The city has posted invitations to bid for the work, including ITB No. 26-039B on June 8 and a follow-up, ITB No. 26-077B, on June 9, opening the project to competitive bidding from contractors. Invitations to bid are the formal step a city takes before awarding a contract, so two notices in two days signal the project is actively being lined up rather than sitting on a wish list. The redevelopment covers Pence Park, a city park site, and both bid notices are posted through the city's news flashes. (City of Boynton Beach)

If you've been meaning to start sewing, this is a same-day option right at City Hall. (Library programs)

Kids can make dinosaur slime at the library's Make & Take program today, June 25, in Room 112 on the first floor of City Hall. The program is geared toward kids and pairs arts-and-crafts with a bit of STEM, making it an easy stop for families already heading downtown today. (Library programs)

The library hosts AI Safety & Ethics tomorrow, Friday, June 26, in the Florida Room on the second floor of City Hall. The session is aimed at adults and is filed under the library's technology, business, and job-help programming, covering how to think about AI tools and their risks. It's a next-day option for anyone who wants the grown-up counterpart to this week's kids' programs. (Library programs)

Further ahead on the civic calendar, the City Commission has a budget workshop set for Tuesday, June 30. Workshops like this are where commissioners walk through proposed spending and department requests before any formal adoption vote later in the cycle, so it marks the start of Boynton's summer budget season rather than a final decision. Residents who want to follow the numbers can review the posted meeting materials ahead of time. (City of Boynton Beach)

The City Commission holds its next Agenda Review Workshop on Thursday, July 2, from 6 to 8 p.m. at 100 E. Ocean Avenue. These reviews happen the Thursday before each Commission meeting, where commissioners walk through what's coming up before they vote on it, so the workshop is a useful early read on what the commission takes up next.

Looking further out, the Boynton Beach Night Market returns Saturday, July 25, at 5 p.m. at Centennial Park & Amphitheater. The two-night market brings vendors, food, live music, games, and family activities to the park and the surrounding downtown blocks, and it's worth putting on the calendar now if you want a downtown weekend at the end of July.
