A “model block” in Boynton Beach received a large donation on Monday. Wells Fargo Community Bank presented two checks totaling $458,000 to the Boynton Beach Faith Based Community Development Corporation and the Neighborhood Renaissance Corporation to beautify a blighted block, between Sara Sims Park on NW 9th Court and Poinciana Elementary School on Seacrest Boulevard.
“The model block is another piece of the puzzle to get the neighborhood developed,” said Vivian Brooks, executive director of the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency.
The money will towards revamping the Heart of Boynton block by providing new landscaping, sidewalks, trees, neighborhood signs, a bus shelter and other property renovations.
