Preserving Paradise: SoFlo’s Call to Action
The grades are in, and South Florida is headed for a mega-disaster if local governments, businesses, and organizations don’t start working together, according to a biennial regional indicators report from Florida Atlantic University.  

The report suggests that South Florida politicians, civic and business leaders should focus on collaborative projects on transportation, especially funding TriRail and other mass transit; creating synergy rather than competition among the region’s 3 airports and 3 seaports; building on the strengths and improving the weaknesses of our schools, colleges, and universities as a collective whole; and restoring the Everglades to the west and the coastline to the east.
