The Delray Beach LEAD Town Hall meeting held on July 24, 2025, focused on significant upcoming construction projects aimed at enhancing the city's beach and stormwater management systems. City officials outlined plans for a comprehensive renovation of the beach, which includes a partnership with the Army Corps of Engineers for storm repair and beach renourishment set to begin in November.

Key projects discussed include the complete rebuilding of the main beach pavilion to improve structural integrity, as well as the replacement of showers and fountains that have deteriorated due to salt air exposure. New concrete benches will be installed to help manage dune erosion and improve stormwater drainage.

The meeting also highlighted the urgent need for stormwater management improvements, particularly in the Tropic Isle neighborhood, where rising water levels have necessitated raising roadways and upgrading the stormwater system. This project, which has received a $25 million grant from the state, aims to address flooding issues exacerbated by king tides.

Additional stormwater initiatives include the replacement of outdated seawalls and the construction of a new stormwater pumping station west of the Intracoastal Waterway, marking a significant step in managing flooding in lower-elevation areas.

Roadway projects were also a focal point, with updates on ongoing construction efforts, including a roundabout on North Swinton Road and improvements along Lindell Boulevard and Barwick Road, all aimed at enhancing safety and accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists.

Overall, the meeting underscored the city's commitment to addressing infrastructure challenges and improving resilience against climate impacts, with several projects set to commence in the coming year.
