2014 ANNUAL REPORT AND 2015 PREVIEW
Balancing Small Town Feel and Progress
2015 has arrived, and with it evidence of progress and recovery
in our local, regional and state economy. We look forward to the
coming year with hope and a sense of optimism in Jupiter, a place
we all love and feel lucky to call “home”.
2014 brought us many challenges of balance. Balance between
economic progress and community livability, between growth and
“small-town feel,” and between neighborhoods and commerce.
We continue to find ourselves weighing decisions with impacts on
many sides – decisions that we do not take lightly and strive to
consider thoughtfully.
VISION:
We saw the emergence of Harbourside Place as a new downtown area for Jupiter.
Bordered by a public amphitheater and a section of the Riverwalk, the hope is
that this entertainment district will offer an option for residents and visitors to
enjoy the Jupiter waterfront. The historic Inlet Village area continues to redevelop
while striving to maintain its unique fishing village quaintness. In residential
areas we are seeing revitalization in our older neighborhoods, watching Abacoa
neighborhoods evolve, and anticipating new growth from new neighborhoods
in-progress and proposed in the western part of our Town. Jupiter is a distinctive
coastal community
committed to preserving its
unique character and history
and vibrant, small-town feel.
As we look to 2015, we know we will continue to face the challenges of balancing
development, redevelopment and “build-out” with those of livability and
economic health. We value resident and business input as we weigh the difficult
decisions we will face in considering all of the benefits and impacts of new
opportunities. We look forward to working together toward the vision of always
being “uniquely Jupiter.” • Mayor Karen Golonka
