Commission 2026 Prioritization Workshop Video

The City of Fort Lauderdale held a Commission Prioritization Workshop on January 13, 2026, to set strategic priorities for fiscal year 2027. The meeting focused on aligning city operations with the 2035 vision plan, emphasizing public safety, housing, infrastructure, public spaces, and economic growth. Key procurement and budget-related updates included the ongoing construction and replacement of fire rescue stations, securing $1.3 million in grants for high-rise response training, and funding for opioid intervention programs. Infrastructure projects highlighted included road, sidewalk, bridge, and seawall improvements funded partly by a $33 million settlement, as well as capital improvements to marine facilities supported by new grant funding. The city also advanced a $200 million parks bond for public space enhancements and allocated funds for streetscape and lighting projects. These initiatives reflect the city's commitment to fiscal responsibility, resilience, and community well-being, with budget development and public hearings scheduled through mid-2026 to support these priorities.
