Every year, taxpayer dollars come back to Martin, St. Lucie, and Palm Beach counties through  Community Development Block Grants (CDBGs), or resources our local communities can put toward cleaning up blighted properties, fixing roads and sidewalks, improving parks, and making neighborhoods safer. It’s your taxpayer dollars at work, and I want to hear your thoughts on where you think it should go.

What would make the biggest difference in your community's quality of life? Is it clearing out trash and abandoned properties? Repairing roads? Safer sidewalks and better lighting? More green space for your kids? Something else?

If you have a second, let me know. I’m interested to hear what you think.
