Palm Beach is a fully developed community, world-renowned for its extraordinary beauty, quality of life and small-town character. As we envision our future ten years from now, we see Palm Beach remaining true to the inspired legacy of our founders, a Mediterranean-style mecca of stunning architecture and natural beauty, acclaimed shopping, restaurants and hotels, a cosmopolitan culture, and an involved citizenry committed to civic and philanthropic causes and excellence in Town government. Our vision for the next decade and beyond consists of continuing to focus on our top-notch public safety departments of Police and Fire-Rescue; sustaining a Town Hall quality of life by protecting existing open spaces and managing redevelopment both in residential and commercial districts; improving emergency management measures in preparation for a possible disaster; continuing to improve the island's infrastructure by renourishing its beaches, improving storm drainage and ensuring the integrity of our roads; and maintaining our excellent financial health.
