The Boca Raton Tribune article, "More Boca Pushback to ‘Put It to a Vote’," reports on significant community opposition to a proposed government campus development plan. Despite the mayor and developers agreeing to a public vote on a revised plan, residents, including youth and prominent figures, packed a city council meeting to demand a referendum to prevent the sale of public land to developers. Speakers expressed concerns about the permanence of a 99-year lease and the potential for increased development, highlighting a deep-seated distrust in city development processes. The article underscores the strong local sentiment to preserve existing public land and ensure greater public input on such significant projects.
