Because it's been over 20 years since we've had this type of development in district two, so I had to put rocks in my pocket to hold me down,” Woodrow Hay, a city commissioner representing District 2, said.Hay said housing is the number one issue that comes up in conversations with his constituents and he’s glad to be seeing more progress.“There were some ups, there were some downs. But through it all at the end of the day, look what we have here. A project that’s going to be around for decades and decades and decades to come for our citizens to enjoy,” Hay said.The Heart of Boynton Village Apartments and Shops are expected to be completed in May of 2023 and applications are being accepted right now.Officials plan to break ground on other two housing projects in 2024.
