Residents of Palm Beach County are called to participate in the upcoming Countywide Community Revitalization Team meeting, as announced by the Office of Community Revitalization (OCR). Scheduled for Tuesday, September 10 at 10 a.m., the gathering is set to unfold at Vista Center Hearing Room 1E-60, where attendees have the chance to sit in on discussions regarding local community projects and initiatives.

Focusing on environmental connections this month, the CCRT is bringing in Rae Milmore, a well-known Community Engagement Specialist, and Nicole Prieto, an Urban & Community Engagement Fellow, both hailing from the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. Offering visitors insights into the habitats and wildlife of the northern Everglades, the refuge also plays an active role in shaping the area's community programs, according to a recent press release.

The meeting allows public attendees to hear directly from speakers Milmore and Prieto about connecting with local youth and targeting priority communities through the Refuge's Urban and Community Engagement Team. Eager to forge new alliances with community leaders and local agencies, the team emphasizes collaboration as a tool for the expansion of their programs and initiatives. The press release outlines the speakers' plans to detail these efforts at the upcoming meeting.

This CCRT event serves as a nexus where residents can connect with the influencers and decision-makers in their county's space of community upliftment. Individuals looking to join the meeting virtually can do so through the OCR's provided link or by dialing in. County agencies and OCR partners will be there, celebrating community progress and discussing the future shape of Palm Beach County's vibrant neighborhoods.

For those interested in participating virtually, details are readily available at the OCR's dedicated meeting page or via a direct conference call. The Office of Community Revitalization's Division Director, Houston L. Tate, and OCR Principal Planner, Ruth Moguillansky, are points of contact for further details or queries related to the event. With Palm Beach County's ever-evolving landscape, this could be a pivotal opportunity for residents to voice their interests and collaborate for a stronger community.
