TRI-RAIL RIDERSHIP MAKES RECORD IN 2008

More than 4-million passengers rode the commuter Tri-Rail in 2008, the highest amount in it’s 20-year history, up nearly 23% over 2007 and up 50%+ over 2005. Tri-Rail is the second fastest growing commuter rail system in the United States during the third quarter of 2008, outranked only by a new commuter train in Albuquerque, New Mexico. With gas prices down below $2 a gallon, there has been a slight dip in the number of passengers, but there are still between 15,000 and 16,000 riders a day. Tri-Rails efforts to tax rental cars to help pay for their operations have been rebuffed by the Legislature.

HIGHLAND BEACH

Condominiums offer a variety of amenities, some are older, established buildings and new ones are still going up. Grand estate and townhomes appear on both sides of A1A. Complexes with beautiful ocean front or intracostal views may include dockage and/or boating facilities.

Take your pick to enjoy a wonderful, comfortable lifestyle.

The Town encompasses 0.6 square miles and is bounded in the north and northwest by the City of Delray Beach and on the south and southwest by the City of Boca Raton.

Highland Beach is a residential community with a year-round population of approximately 3,200 which increases to approximately 6,500 during the winter months, adding part-time residents who list their northern homes as their official place of residence. Residents are composed of approximately 80% retirees and 20% persons employed or engaged in business enterprises in Palm Beach and Broward Counties.

From one full time employee in 1966, the Highland Beach Town Commission staff has grown to 38 full time employees, 4 part time employees, and 5 elected officials. In that same period, the assessed valuation of Highland Beach has mushroomed from $10 million to approximately $861 million.

In March 2000, voters approved a referendum to build a state of the art Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Plant on some of the land behind Town Hall. The new facility will replace their current lime softening plant which is now located in Boca Raton.

In March 2002, Highland Beach voters approved a referendum to build a new library in the rear of the Town Hall complex, next to the Intracoastal Waterway. The new library will be 6 to 8 times larger than the current one, and will provide patrons with even more choices and variety in the latest reading materials, periodicals, videos and DVDs. There will also be more public computers available for internet access. Construction of the new library is not expected to begin until 2004.

In 1999, the city of Highland Beach heartily celebrated its fiftieth anniversary.

Located between the cities of Delray Beach and Boca Raton, Highland Beach is a residential community. Highland Beach was once the home of the Caloosa Indian tribe. Pirates, explorers and buccaneers also visited the city over the years.

The roughly three-mile stretch of Highland Beach serves as a critical nesting ground for endangered sea turtles, which lay hundreds of eggs onshore each year from March through October.

Today, Highland Beach - along with the nearby upscale communities of Gulf Stream, Ocean Ridge and Manalapan - is home to some of the most beautiful homes and beachfront property along South Florida’s “Gold Coast.”

The Highland Beach real estate market is upscale, featuring luxurious beachfront single-family detached homes and exquisite condominiums, co-ops and high-rises. Highland Beach also features pristine oceanfront property, with homes ranging to more than $15 million. Equally upscale condominium high-rises priced from $300,000 to $3.4 million are available at Toscana Towers, Townhouses of Highland Beach, Trafalgar, Coronado at Highland Beach Isles and Regency Highland. Limited land and lots are available for custom building.
