BOYNTON BEACH — Boynton Beach officials kicked off the huge Boynton Beach Town Square project Monday morning with a groundbreaking ceremony.
The quadrant in the city’s east end is poised to grow into a walkable downtown offering more than chain restaurants and rundown buildings.
Mayor Steven B. Grant started the project with a sledgehammer on the Boynton Beach Civic Center building.
The city manager, mayor and commissioners, as well as private and public partners including the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency and E2L, donned hard hats and safety glasses and picked up their construction gear as part of the first Town Square demolition crew.
“It is a great time to come to Boynton Beach to live, to work, and to play,” Grant said.

Residents and business owners will have to deal with construction for the next couple of years, but once everything is complete, the city will be more vibrant.
Palm Beach County’s third largest city is getting a $500 million makeover that is expected to finally transform Boynton. The entire project is expected to be complete by September 2019.
