The Boca Raton Community Redevelopment Agency (C.R.A.) held a regular meeting on July 14, 2025, where various community concerns and project discussions were addressed. The meeting featured public comments, including a notable address from resident Vic Rose, who emphasized the importance of accurate information regarding local development projects.
Rose urged city officials to thoroughly review the "Save That Boca" website, which he described as misleading and filled with false claims. He specifically pointed out that the website overlooks a significant $3 million CBRE study that provides essential insights into the areas in question. Rose argued that while residents have the right to voice their opposition to projects, it is crucial that they base their arguments on factual information rather than misinformation.
He expressed concern that the spread of false information could lead to unnecessary opposition and called for the city to educate the community on what is true and what is not. Rose concluded his remarks by stating that misleading claims only serve to hinder the decision-making process regarding development projects.
The meeting continued with discussions on various agenda items, but Rose's comments highlighted a growing need for transparency and factual discourse in community discussions about development. The city officials are expected to consider these concerns as they move forward with ongoing projects and community engagement efforts.
